Coyote Waltz navigates and explores the Native American myth of the trickster coyote to create dances for mountain stages for the National Park Centennial. Using Yosemite as a visually arresting stage, this major new site-reactive work reimagines waltz and illuminates the beauty, vulnerability and complexity of organic systems in the wild. You can get a sneak peek of behind the scenes footage from Yosemite here, and some photos here.  Upcoming Workshops Come immerse yourself in the art of BANDALOOPING!
