Blood, Sea
Your helical heart is everywhere
Your blood is the transport system of your needs
Your vessels draw you toward and away
Created by Nicole Bindler with the performers
Music by Julius Masri
Performed by Christina Gesualdi, Christine Mantey, Derek Freeh, Elizabeth Weinstein, Greg Holt, Harlee Trautman, JD Frost, Janna Meiring, Jonathan Stein, Kimya Imani Jackson, Margot Electra Steinberg, Miryam Coppersmith, Pablo Virgo, and Talia Mason
Blood, Sea is an improvised ensemble dance drawing inspiration from our evolution from the ocean to land, our ontogenetic journey from the amniotic sea of the womb to adulthood, and polarities within our lives and bodies, such as affinity and aversion, or blood and cerebrospinal fluid, which arise in the front and back of our bodies, respectively, and are the heaviest and lightest fluids.
The title is drawn from the writing of Italo Calvino. His short story "Blood, Sea" refers to the balance of salinity in our blood and in the ocean from which we humans evolved: “Bathed by the primordial wave which continues to flow in the arteries, our blood in fact has a chemical composition analogous to that of the sea of our origins.” As we evolved into terrestrial beings, we brought the sea inside of us onto land.
