H2O Danceworks: Columbus Choreographers Showcase

According to the mission of copresenting partners Global Water Dances Columbus, the collective “connects and supports Columbus-based choreographers and dancers to a global community to shed light on the importance of water in our lives and to inspire action and collaboration for equitable access to safe, clean, and affordable water for everyone through the universal language of dance.”

Through artistic collaboration and storytelling, Global Water Dances Columbus works to build community and take action to celebrate and challenge issues affecting future generations while envisioning a better world for all. This showcase is programmed in conjunction with our current exhibitions, which similarly foreground artists and projects that call attention to the cultural significance of land and water.

On April 13, performers Orlando Zane Hunter Jr. and Ricarrdo Valentine of Columbus-based duo Brother(hood) Dance! will lead an immersive dance workshop, Connecting the Body to the Natural World, in partnership with Global Water Dances Columbus. Learn more about the workshop—registration is limited!
