Share this event:


he moves like the ocean: a performance

this project has grown over the years, from conception to necessity to reality. it is my story as a parent and as a person. it is about the perception, the understanding and the beauty of difference. three pairs of musicians and dancers will learn, interpret and then perform the movements that my son makes while engaged in imaginative play. that is the simplest way I can explain this project. if i were to define it, i would say that for years i have watched my son move while immersed in a world of imagination and story. i have seen him play his unique games without a worry about what his play looks like while also seeing how others puzzle over his play. he is unique; his brain structured in ways diagnosed as behavioral conditions. but his movement, his imagination, his thinking is beautiful. this work explores his beauty and it explores the way learning how his brain works taught me, his mother, how my brain works.
