A spokesperson says---
"...Taking place at the origin point of the historic Greenpoint oil spill along Newtown Creek, SOIL:FIELD of AWARENESS invites audiences into a deep sensory encounter with the ecological history and living environment of the place.
Through Butoh, puppetry, sound vibration, live drumming, and music, participants are invited to become the voice, movement, and witness to the soils and waters of Newtown Creek.
...the work creates a space for audiences to slow down and attune to the ecological rhythms of soil, tree, water, stone, and bone — connecting the human nervous system to the larger environmental systems that sustain us.
The project approaches performance as a form of ecological listening, using the body, vibration, movement, puppetry, and sound to cultivate awareness of the histories held within land and water and of the relationships between human and more-than-human life..."
