About This Show

Interglacial is a new multidisciplinary dance work by Laura Peterson Choreography that explores the urgent topic of climate change. Both a dance and visual art installation, Interglacial is about deep time and the dynamics of nature and is designed to create a space for reflection on human impacts on the Arctic region of the earth and to encourage climate activism. Throughout Interglacial the performance environment is transformed from an icy landscape into 12-foot sculptures evoking a terrain inhabited and ultimately overwhelmed by cleaving glaciers.
