NEW CONVERSATIONS:  IRON MEETS WATER

New Conversations: Iron Meets Water is set to original music by Grammy Award winning composer Arturo O’Farrill and features five sections that allow the dancers to lead and follow each other into a space cleared for what is RIGHT. In each of the distinct sections—Clearing the Jungle, Iron Meets Water, Dance of the Elements, Elegua, and Free-play—the dancers perform contemporary and Afro-Cuban dance as an embodiment of O’Farrill’s music. Music for New Conversations was commissioned by The Charles and Joan Gross Family Foundation, and was created in part during a Jacob’s Pillow Dance Creative Development Residency
