About They're Mending the Great Forest Highway:

Derived primarily from found movement mining YouTube archives and inventions from the dancers in response to prompts, They're Mending the Great Forest Highway takes its structure from the written score of Béla Bartók's "Contrasts."

Three male dancers embody the notes for each instrument and perform to a live composition by DJ and classically trained pianist Charissa Tolentino.

The creation of this performance has been supported by a Lab Artist Award from the Chicago Dancemakers Forum. Learn more about CDF's Lab Artist Program...
