the last of the leaves (rehearsal excerpts)

SYREN Modern Dance in rehearsal.

"the last of the leaves"
Choreographer: Kate Mehan St. Amand
Dancers: Aleyse Bradford, Jean-Rene Homehr, Jere Hunt, Chanelle Lagace, Erin Lane, Nico Li, Brigitte Mitchell, Lynn Peterson

Highly physical, 'the last of the leaves' uses the driving and churning idiosyncrasies of John Adams's "Shaker Loops" to explore the mysteries surrounding the cycles of human life. Birth, illness, death, and the different energies needed to experience them, are points of departure for this piece as eight dancers journey through qualities both distant and tender.
