Dances of Woven Water” draws from traditional Asian and Pacific folk dances from Japan, Indonesia, Korea, and Hawaii. Once performed by sailors, these ancestral dances honor the beauty and immense power of the sea. Through veiled forms, masked figures and flowing movement, the work brings the past into the present, uniting all in a living tapestry of dance.

This program is supported, in part, by public funds from the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs in Partnership with the City Council.
