NATURE I AM

The world of NATURE I AM is one of sensitive smoke in a forest of connections. NATURE I AM is inspired by a recent headline that announced that “wildfire smoke makes some trees hold their breath”. It draws upon the fractality of the body and the idea that the universe is inside of itself. NATURE I AM follows the transformations of two beings as they navigate their relationships to themselves, each other, and their environment. What do they do when their world is up in flames?
Why do they need each other?
This 25-minute duet, featuring Maude Warshaw and Ana Delgado, exists as both a screen
dance and a live performance. The film is shot and edited by Katy Harnish. Original costumes by Heily Rivas.
