Fusing digital dance, choreographic screen processes with architectural cinema and sound, the project develops an electro-shamanic ethos. We trace our stories of architecture from the first attempts to capture and hold space with stone. The skeletons of stone structures have sat with us for millennia. Light is both wave and particle. Light has consciousness. In Soma Songs we conduct this energy and its resulting memory.DFA FRIENDSDance Magazine- “When the Camera is Your Partner“One of the featured articles in Dance Magazine’s April edition covers various dance filmmakers.
