Experience dance at the intersection of Japanese avant-garde performance and current conservation and ecology concerns, with aqueous, a performance organized as part of UT’s Planet Texas 2050 Symposium.

Description

Rosemary Candelario will harness the Japanese dance form butoh and experiences here in Texas for aqueous, a site-adaptive performance that draws the attention of audience members to sites of the presence and absence of water here in Texas, seasonally and geologically. 

This unique performance will take place at Waller Creek, which runs through campus and the heart of the city of Austin, offering one of the most heavily urbanized watersheds in the city. 

Register for this and other sessions happening throughout the three-day Planet Texas 2050 annual symposium, which explores diverse and intersecting aspects of resilience. Presenters from multiple universities representing more than 20 academic disciplines will be joined by practitioners and community-based leaders from Austin and beyond.
