everything that rises must dance is a dance project celebrating female movement and the way women have danced throughout history. The piece is created with 100 to 200 women reproducing the minute movements of daily life while weaving in fragments of folk dance from around the world. The spectacle sets expressive, physical action to an evolving sonic score.

Produced by Complicité. First presented as part of Dance Umbrella 2018. 

everything that rises must dance, June 2020 was a Complicité Homemakers commission.
