Emily Coates & Emmanuèle Phuon: We

These interlocking dance journeys by two choreographers take us inside out, outside in, and face to face with our planetary crisis.

7:00pm – 8:45pm

Various Campus Locations

Registration required. Fee required. Tickets required.

Through site-specific dance, Cambodian classical forms and inter-disciplinary elements, dancer/choreographers Emily Coates and Emmanuèle Phuon unpack humanity's ongoing struggle to fully grasp and represent the environment.

Each evening-length program is made up of indoor and outdoor sections that connect dance to scientific discovery and reflect on themes of animism and astronomy. From ancient Egyptian astronomer-priests practicing a "star dance" around their temple altars, to narratives of land use and abuse that flicker through the Reamker, the two dance artists guide us on a collective choreographic journey through the connections and rifts between nature and our human understanding.
