Reflecting on Homecoming

“Liturgy|Order|Bridge” | New England Dance on Tour | Friday, February 14, 2020 | 7:30pm

In New England Dance on Tour, Scapegoat Garden shares the stage with three other regional dance artists to showcase the diversity and richness of dance in New England. Here, we perform another, more developed iteration of Liturgy | Order | Bridge. Conceived by Deborah Goffe and performed with Lauren Horn and Arien Wilkerson, this ongoing process has centered dance as the organizing principle in a liturgy (a ritualized public ceremony) that is imagined to stir personal, interpersonal, and communal stuck places. Dance has long been leveraged as a way to reconcile the relationship between the expressive body, imagination, faith, liberation, and aesthetic impulse. Here Goffe activates her own garden by visioning broadly and close to home.
