just me and the tree
Trees are formidable dance partners - especially (but not only!) during a pandemic. Inspired by Indigenous teachings about the land and kinship, we recognise that trees are our relations; that we depend on each other. Through its music, this piece is also connected to Virginia Woolf's novel Mrs. Dalloway (1925), where trees are both a constant reminder of death's looming presence, and a symbol of the ultimate life force.
