From a Distant Past is a reworking of our theatrical dance piece, based on an original lyrical and symbolic poem by Kyra Jucovy. Depicting a journey, following a river from its source in caves all the way to the mouth of the ocean, the poem symbolizes eternal cycles. This intimate performance piece consists of recorded text from the poem, spoken by actor Tzena Nicole over background music, live dance with our company of 5 dance artists, and projected imagery.
The work has rich and varied dynamics and includes beautiful and eerie depictions of nature through words, movement, costumes and imagery. Key themes include destruction leading to creation, darkness to light, endings to beginnings. This timeless and timely work contiuously seems to adress the world's current issues.  Included is Isadora Duncan repertory in Grecian tunics, adding to the mythic overtones.

Also an excerpt form the company's celebrated visual art/dance collaboration with artist Susan Ruth Cohen 
With discussion of the poem, the art and the performance afterwards.
