The dance film Rituals for Nothing / prayers to no god is currently available online now through February 28.
This 30-minute dance film is based on a performance on the banks of the Mississippi last fall. In Rituals for Nothing, ask questions about ritual, loss, the gap between ourselves and the dead, ourselves and this land, the people, the history, the future, ways of seeing time, and the immense magnitude of care that is woven all around; we weave it backward and forwards.
