Building on the ensemble&#39;s research into associative vocal interjections and supported by EDAM&rsquo;s creative grounds in Contact Improvisation, seven dancers navigate spatial and sensorial parameters reminiscent of their passage through the pandemic. Above all, the work underscores the intrinsic care, trust, and commitment between the eight adept performers: Anne Cooper, Francesca Frewer, Hayley Gawthrop, Arash Khakpour, Alex Mah, Diego Romero, Olivia Shaffer, and Antonio Somera Jr.&nbsp;heirloom, created and performed by Generous Mess (Sarah Hutton and Aiden Cass) in collaboration with dancers Eowynn and Isak Enquist explores how we experience our body&rsquo;s memories. Are they inherited? What meaning do they hold? How do they change over time? By collecting actions, gestures, and touch, Generous Mess aims to showcase a fleeting and slippery glimpse into corporeal reflections.&nbsp;&nbsp;Ablutions for a dying world&nbsp;is choreographed by Zahra Shahab and performed by Alder Sherwood and Oksana Hayduk.&nbsp;A rehearsal for being with the end of the world as we know it, this work is about willingly composting our identities as we descend towards the earth, spending time below the crust, and then reconfiguring ourselves into new forms. In other words, it is about choreographing the fall towards the earth, rehearsing slithering like underworld creatures, and then seeing what we become upon resurrection. Ablutions means to ceremonially cleanse one&rsquo;s body in preparation for a sacred ritual, such as salat, the Islamic daily prayers. These descensions and ascensions are an offering to prepare for the ending ceremonies of life as we know it.&nbsp;Lighting Design by Daniel A.
