Welcome to the digital home of JCWK Dance Lab’s Glacier.
Glacier is JCWK Dance Lab’s latest research exploring interconnectedness through the lens of STEAM (science, technology, engineering, arts, and math). The 22-minute contemporary dance is a meditation on the interdependence of nature and humans while embodying the fractures between science and our current socio-political climate. Glacier is a collaboration between JCWK Dance Lab, musician Marty Bonk, and climate change scientists. The musical collaboration is supported by the Reading Musical Foundation.
