5 STAGES OF DROWNING

Ed Talavera, Konstantia Kontaxis, Dennis Scholl, Rosie Herrera
USA, 2022, length: 8’13”

The city of Miami is one of the most vulnerable coastal cities in the world. Located practically at sea level, Miami has been called the “epicentre” for problems caused by rising sea levels. Storm surges, floods, and hurricanes are long-term stresses that amplify existing gentrification problems in this urban environment. The waters surrounding the city have risen 15 centimetres in the last 25 years—one of the fastest rates globally—and floods have increased 400% since 2006. Yet, Miami has been experiencing an annual growth in population of 0.95% and, since 2020, of almost 3%.

5 Stages of Drowning is a virtual reality experience exploring climate change and Miami’s climate gap through dance. Designed and choreographed on location in Little Haiti, East Little Havana/ Miami River and Virginia Key, 5 STAGES OF DROWNING juxtaposes movement, performance, and climate change in a cohesive narrative that prompts audiences to question their relationship with the environment.

TIDAL TRACES

Nancy Lee, Emmalena Fredriksson
Canada, 2019, length: 4’23’’

Tidal Traces is a 360-degree VR dance work that places viewers at the centre of the performance. In the work, three characters explore a new and uncertain world, moving between tranquillity and restlessness, beauty and danger. Trapped in this tension, the spectator becomes the fourth character, directly composing the dance through their gaze.
