Nat's Farm (2014)

Originally created on Martha's Vineyard at The Yard for the 2014 Bessie Schonberg Residency, Nat’s Farm is inspired by the directors' decades-long relationship with the island. Referencing the Vineyard's Aquinnah Cliffs and the Flying Horses Carousel in Oak Bluffs, the work creates a sense of place and memory through movement and music. The original score incorporates an interview with a Wampanoag Tribal Elder backed by field recordings from around the island.
