THROUGH FISH EYES: A DANCE PRODUCTION THAT COMBINES ART, SCIENCE, AND A CALL TO ACTION
“Through Fish Eyes” is a unique performance that utilizes dance to create awareness of and evoke empathy in audiences about our dwindling marine ecosystems.
This art-science-dance work follows the relationship between mankind and the ocean, starting at a time when man lived in harmony with nature and ending with the current fragmented world. It brings a voice to water which is all around us in so many forms. The once abundant and thriving ocean has been ravaged by humans.
The relationship between man and water is no longer sacred and the damage is done. Humanity is the hand that has been destroyed, but can it now be the hand of change?
This work was initially conceptualized by Kasi Aysola & Madhvi Venkatesh. Research and fieldwork was done at the Great Barrier Reef in Cairns, Australia. The creative development of this piece has been funded by the National Academies Keck Futures Initiative, The Boston Foundation, and the Boston Cultural Council.
“Through Fish Eyes” has been choreographed by Kasi Aysola, and conceptualized by Kasi Aysola & Madhvi Venkatesh.
The production will be performed by: Kasi Aysola, Archana Raja, Madhuvanthi Sundararajan from Prakriti Dance, and Kalapriya’s Harini Nilakantan, Sangeeta Chettia, and Kavisha Prajapathi
Original musical score by composers Ramya Kapadia & Anjna Swaminathan.
