Celebrating their 25th anniersary, jill sigman/thinkdance "...has worked with bodies, found materials, and alternative geographies to envision a future in which we reconnect with the natural world and each other in the service of personal, communal, and environmental healing. Continuing the company’s movement, sound, and visual research practices, Re-Seeding (Encounter #3: The Commons) is a rigorous ritual-based process grounded in an exploration of our interconnectedness to land and each other. It grows out of Sigman’s many years of making dances and installations about environmental and social justice issues.
