Shakespeare’s The Tempest begins with a great magical storm. This piece reimagines the storm as the work of Sycorax and other women whose absences on land is because they live in the tides of the sea. The work draws on reflections from reading Sylvia Wynter. This is act i of the full ballet.
Act i, Storm Tides was created with dancers at Texas Christian University, as part of a Spring residency I had there. Performances took place in April 2024. The Dancers and department were a pleasure to work with. I am so grateful to have begun the ballet at TCU.
