A Momentous Occasion

WHAT PEOPLE Wrote

A Secret Journey

Your history together brought us to many unknown lands. You left us feeling we witnessed a secret journey. Cats. Ships passing. String. Sisters. Everyone who has peopled this room. Honoring every moment together. Honoring space. Figurative and literal. Timing of join-ups. Use of room. Start > Finish. Complete.

A Miracle in Nature

"Puzzle-like configurations of two bodies coming together. One body moving another, yet not mechanic, but purely organic. Felt like watching a miracle in nature that happened once in a hundred years; like a waterfall full of glowing stars."

"It was beautiful—a cascading shifting relationship with each other and the space that wasn't quite human, in a world where there wasn't quite verticality. But y'all also managed to be firmly connected—an umbilical cord between you. Thank you for your clarity and simplicity of structure; all felt helpful in these dark days. "

Megan Lowe Dances will be sharing A Momentous Conversation, a dynamic contact improvisation duet full of flying, catching, and rolling, with two dancers in constant dialogue with gravity, momentum, and each other. MLD brings this spirited performance to life with performers Megan Lowe and Shira Yaziv. Their playful partnership transforms risk into joy, making the invisible forces of weight and trust visible.
