SoMoS is a
performance spectacle bridging nature and the urban landscape, in the North
Philadelphia barrio. bringing together seven years of branch practice research.
SoMoS will create a meditative nature carnival out
of a concrete parking lot, with performance spaces and multi-media displays for
winter, spring, summer and fall. Fifteen dancers will be spread out throughout the performing areas in
numerous combinations, including core dancers and co-choreographers Olive
Prince, Jumatatu Poe, Marion Ramírez, Beau Hancock, and Jung Woong Kim.

SoMoS is a large scale event, with three geodesic
tents transformed into performance spaces. Seasonal video- and audio-scapes are
projected on and about dancers performing the hypnotic, branch dances—an
intimate dance that follows the gravity and shifting balance of nature. Large
shadows of the dancers are projected against the walls of the tents. Visible
from the outside, these artful shadows create their own performance experience
and yet another viewpoint for audiences. The fourth performance space will be
the outdoors, with giant video projections of nature in extreme close-up upon
the walls of adjoining buildings.
