Two Chapters on Interconnectedness

This work is composed of two solos, two chapters or meditations on interconnectedness. The first chapter makes use of an anecdote by Professor Robert Hass from the 2008 conference "Creativity in the Face of Climate Change", discussing cranes breeding in the demilitarized zone between North and South Korea. The second chapter focusses on the cultural conception of nature, and how we are not "other" or separate from nature, but intimately bound up with it. Through movement and performance, these two chapters attempt to illustrate and contemplate specific perspectives on interconnectedness.
