Swallowed By Sea
at The Barbara B. Barker Center for Dance

This performance tells an emotional, redemptive story that invites the audience to navigate the eternal currents through ocean, land and sky. Weaving together a lush choral score, live-animated projection design, and the graceful and forceful physical performances by an all abilities cast who move with and without wheels, Swallowed by Sea is a rich tapestry of a production about beginnings and endings, destruction and renewal. This production also continues Off-Leash Area’s partnership with Young Dance, whose mission is transforming lives through movement, and another step in their integration of all abilities into their programs and performances.
 
The artistic contributions to Swallowed By Sea include dancers Christine Maginnis, Gabriel Rodreick, Lexine Samara, Brian Evans, Erin Landers, and Lilly Rossow; choral works by acclaimed choral composer Linda Kachelmeier; soundscapes and sound engineering by Reid Kruger; animation, video, and projection by Paul Herwig; and direction and choreography by Off-Leash Area founding director Jennifer Ilse.
