LAND DANCE RITUALS | Tyler Rai + lisa nevada

Details

Together we will practice sourcing movement from the ecology around us. We will dig our hands into the soil with a collective land-labor activity in support of the local food system and/or land stewarding of the Field Center.
Join us for a time to recalibrate our senses to the land and the ecosystems we depend upon to thrive.

lisa nevada (b. New México) is an advocate for our earth mother, a dancemaker, collaborator, and teacher.  After living most of her life in New México, lisa eventually landed in Brooklyn in 2019 where she thrives as a dance and teaching artist. In Lenapehoking (NYC) and beyond, lisa facilitates movement experiences and performs dances that engage all peoples in the observation of ecosystems and our human interactions to ignite kinship with mama earth, centered on gratitude. She choreographs for experimental theatre, musicals, and currently has two personal creations in development set to premiere in 2024/2025. Her embodied research and performance delve into the sonic realms of lullaby and wailing in response to humanity’s active destruction of psyche and home. Soils, Plants & Trees, Waters, Animals, and Insects propel lisa’s work while dance remains the sustaining conduit through which she is able to live and communicate.     

Tyler Rai (she/they) is a dance artist, writer, ritualist, and producer who works across live performance, narrative essays, and experimental sound works. Her works investigate biological and cultural inheritance, spaces of ruin, and ecological change. Through performance and movement improvisation, her research questions how we embody kinship with the more-than-human-world. Her approach to performance and research is shaped by the work of multiple teachers including K.J. Holmes, Mina Nishimura, Emily Johnson, Suprapto Suryodarmo, and Anna Halprin, with whom she studied from 2015-2017. Rai completed Halprin's training program in Expressive Arts Therapy in 2017 and is a certified Tamalpa Life/Art Practitioner. She is currently based in  Nipmuc, Pocumtuc, and Agawam territory (Holyoke, MA).
