about the project
what began as a dance piece in 2012 has now morphed into a multimedia exploration via live performances, film, sound recordings, journal entries, and podcasts.
iterations of soothsayer have been presented live in the United States & abroad at various festivals & venues including:
New Dance For Asia Festival - Seoul, South Korea
the CURRENT sessions - NYC
Fertile Ground Festival - Portland, OR
RAW Artists - Portland, OR + Vancouver, BC
Dance City Festival - Detroit, MI
Seattle International Dance Festival - Seattle, WA
& more!
following the journey of "the pilgrim", soothsayer continues to grow & evolve through various forms with honesty, mindfulness, and humor when investigating what the pilgrim considers "The Four Questions":
Where did we come from?
Where are we now?
Where are we going?
What does it all mean, if anything at all?
