Vibrant Marvels

“We did not come into this world. We came out of it…” – Lyall Watson, Gifts of the Unknown We rarely think of the past which occurred before our birth, yet our body and mind seem to remember it well. “Vibrant Marvels” reaches back into our subconscious memories and reminds us of the innateness of dance and music, that resonates in us from generation to generation and which we first encountered while we were in the womb. The membrane of our mother’s belly acted as a resonating drum to which rhythms we responded, as we pushed to become a part of the vibrating outside. “Vibrant Marvels” explores these intrinsic drives through the ebb and tide of ever-transforming images and through the deconstruction of dance’s body movements which are juxtaposed to abstract footage of nature, lush underwater sequences of a female form, and the dynamic performance of a African music ensemble.
