Boston Dance Theater's OCEAN/CURRENT
About this Event
Cape Symphony Presents: Boston Dance Theater’s OCEAN / CURRENT
Presented in partnership with Boston Dance Theater + Danceport
Join Cape Symphony Presents for OCEAN / CURRENT, an intimate and immersive evening of contemporary dance inspired by the ocean, environmental change, and the powerful relationship between movement, sound, and ecology.
The performance features excerpts from Boston Dance Theater’s SURGE project, developed in collaboration with Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution ocean scientist Larry J. Pratt. Through bold and expressive movement, the work translates scientific concepts such as ocean systems, current, flow, and environmental change into a deeply human performance experience.
The evening will also highlight local dance through an original workschoreographed by Danceport Founder and Owner Michelle Chwastiak and performed by the Danceport Company. These works, including If the World Was a House and Diamonds on the Water, reflect themes of ocean preservation, environmental connection, and the fragile beauty of the world around us.
The program will conclude with a collaborative improvisation featuring dancers from both Boston Dance Theater and Danceport, set to ambient recordings of local ocean sounds. A brief audience talkback will follow, offering a chance to hear directly from the artists about the creative process, the science behind the movement, and the importance of cross-disciplinary collaboration.
This one-night-only performance brings together world-class contemporary dance, local artistry, and Cape Cod’s deep connection to the ocean.
