Everything is a dance performance installation evoking the ever-expanding universe, transforming the performance space into a constellation of stars and human bodies in various states of formation and explosion. Inspired by astrophotography, string theory, interconnectivity and meditations on space and time. The new dance work conceived and directed by Valerie Green, weaves together a visual, physical and emotional translation of the cosmos.
The work began as a cultural exchange and collaboration between Valerie Green/Dance Entropy and Zawirowania Dance Theatre spanning NYC/Warsaw in 2019. It has since expanded into a transportable, movable collaborative concept that is process focused. The work is intended to travel for collaboration, replicating the long distance and cross cultural exchange process, culminating in a different performative result each time. With an emphasis on collaboration, the work also utilizes local musicians and dancers. Valerie Green/Dance Entropy is pleased to collaborate with Open Space Dance for this rendition at The Oregon Museum of Science and Industry.
