Still. Moving: Isla (Tierra Prometida) as interpreted by Arts Together Rainbow Dance

Watch as dancers offer a living response to Isla (Tierra Prometida) by Cuban artist Yoan Capote, bringing choreographed motion to what was made to endure. This work is interpreted by Arts Together Rainbow Dance under the artistic direction of Kathryn Auman. A brief talkback with Auman and the dancers follows the performance.

About Still. Moving
This performance dance series explores the timeless works of the People’s Collection and loaned works through the lens of movement. Each object becomes a partner in a visual and physical dialogue as dancers interpret form, story, and silence with their bodies. Still. Moving reimagines the gallery as a stage where past and present meet and where the boundaries between objects and experience dissolve.
