h o r i z o n is an interdisciplinary ensemble dance project that calls upon movement, sound, light and materials to interrogate catastrophe, extinction and futurity. Inspired by biological anthropologist Adriana Petryna’s Horizon Work - a radical call to create a deliberative and expansive time and space amid onrushing climate disasters - we study the ensemble as an organism of futurity. Investigating mycorrhizal networks - the roots of fungi that connect tree roots to each other underground, creating a network that shares resources between forest ecosystems - we ask: in a time of extinction, what can we learn from these ancient, non-human teachers that center collectivity, cooperation and curiosity? Through entangled ensemble dance practices, powerful solos, storytelling and worldbuilding with light and a massive golden net, this project proposes the wisdom of the dancer to ground into what we cannot see, but only feel, as the horizon to build and inhabit, together.
