Title: REMEMBERING,
Artistic Director and Choreographer: Christine Germain
The piece I choreographed titled “Remembering” is being presented on
Saturday January 31st at 8pm and Sunday Feb.1st at 7pm.
I did this piece in response to the Bhopal disaster and to the fact that 30 years later, people in India are still fighting for compensation, and waiting for Dow Chemical to clean the site. The deeper we got into the creative process the more I saw images of so many other tragedies that are happening all around the world. Perhaps this piece a portrait of what is happening in various places, at different times? It is my hope that such artistic work inspires our generation and the generations after us, to build better relationships with other cultures and with their environment. Hoping that by remembering, we can make better choices and construct a better world to live in.
