The expression “It takes a village to raise a child” is fitting for ANIMAL, the multimedia dance piece from Vermont-based choreographer Hanna Satterlee. Developed over two years, the work was performed at a series of indoor and outdoor venues, encouraging public feedback along the way. The result is a combination of dance, film and sound that comes alive with original costumes and innovative lighting design. Local dancers interpret Satterlee’s choreography alongside digital soundbites by sound artists Sean Clute and Otto Muller and the environmental video work of Lukas Huffman. Together, the artists explore themes of physical power, communication and intuition.
