A new dance and music film from the Michele Brangwen Dance Ensemble that speaks to our current condition of being alone together, and invites us into an inspiring and overlapping world of interaction across 5 cities in 4 different countries.

The livestream will include an introduction by composer Danielle Reich, choreographer/filmmaker Michele Brangwen and trumpeter Tim Hagans, and post-premiere the artists will respond to comments and questions.

"To Your Constant Embrace, The Cloud Stream Sways" is a 13 minute short that features choreography, editing and costumes by Michele Brangwen and music composed and arranged by Danielle Reich.

We wanted to create a new work that would be an invitation to release some of the sadness, an invitation to experience a kind of universal togetherness that exists from our shared humanity, something comforting and welcoming.

We realized when we began this project that two dancers would be soon out of the country helping family members in need, so we decided to have them film themselves dancing where they would be. It was so exciting to find that these acts of love on their part would result in these beautiful and contrasting locations being a part of the film. Our ensemble has members who reside in New York City, Houston, TX and Odense, Denmark. This new project also included footage from Ixtapa Zihuatanejo, Mexico and Cali, Colombia."

"To Your Constant Embrace, The Cloud Stream Sways" is performed by Robin Gilbert, Yuritzi Govea, Cristian Laverde Konig, Michele Brangwen, dancers; Danielle Reich, voice; Tim Hagans, trumpet; Thomas Helton, bass; Anders Mogensen, drums
