SAFE SPACE is a special staging of a song from Site-Specific Dances collaborator Darian Donovan Thomas’ upcoming album A Room With Many Doors.  

SETTING

Set in a mature grove of redwood trees endangered by increasingly deadly wildfires, two dancers strap hand-held cameras to their bodies and capture the site through their movement. They also capture footage of each other, an intimate interaction performed without touching. The footage they capture, through movement, is spatialized to create a video ‘set’ for live performance that extends Darian Donovan Thomas’ plea for a ‘safe space’ to the increasingly vulnerable natural world.
