Magnificent Beast

'Magnificent Beast' is a quartet for female dancers. It explores the incredible muscularity and seeming docility of sting rays and other cartilaginous fish that glide through ocean waters. The movement examines the animal’s relationship to its environment: how the waves and currents affect its body and how it propels itself through underwater landscapes. As the piece progresses, the dancers glide, swim, and “fly” in packs and alone, transforming a horizontal creature's movements to a vertical being.
