Dance, live music, and immersive visuals transport audiences into a story about the Earth’s interconnected, push-and-pull relationship with its oceans. 

“Mareas/Tides” is an interdisciplinary performance that combines dance, storytelling, singing, music, visual imagery, and improvisation. The performance traces island cosmologies and diasporic geographies of the Caribbean, Atlantic, and Pacific seas and the gravitational power of the moon. Marion Ramirez, a Puerto Rican somatic dancer-choreographer, conceived and curated the performance in collaboration with Ojeya Cruz Banks, a Black Chamoru (Guåhan) dancer-anthropologist. “Mareas/Tides” includes a live score that draws from jazz, salsa, and gospel music, featuring Pete Mills (music director and saxophone), Timothy Carpenter (piano and vocals), Dean Hulett (bass), and Zach Compston (drums) along with stunning visual projections designed by Christian Faur. (program approx. 60 mins.)
