Abstract
Erin Gee wrote the music for “All the Relations”.
All The Relations by Angie Smalis & Colin Gee is a work of story-based dance featuring eight dancers, a narrator and live music, about an event in a small town. It focuses on sources of personal conflict to deepen our experience of the many characters involved and explores a new perspective on demographic shifts brought on by climate change, while also exposing the interconnectedness between individuals through a larger sense of family, friends, community, nature, and species. As the story is told, the dancers dramatize moments of inner conflict and doubt, grappling with their emotional inner life through movement-based dramaturgy.
