SUMMARY:Lunar Retreat by Nichole Canuso | Branching Paths
DESCRIPTION:Lunar Retreat is a multi-sensory performance inspired by the gradual distance growing between the Moon and Earth. This immersive journey invites audiences to wander\, witness\, and reflect on how we move through care\, loss\, and transformation—both individually and collectively. Created by choreographer Nichole Canuso in collaboration with a visionary team of designers\, Lunar Retreat opens a space for poetic\, playful\, and communal connection with the shifting rhythms of our planetary bodies. Lunar Retreat reflects on our deep evolutionary ties to the ocean and the moon\, reminding us that we are all interconnected with the natural world. \nVia pre-recorded prompts on headset\, audiences are guided through a performance installation that includes live feed video\, individualized activities and moments of group ceremony. While in residence with LMCC\, Nichole and her collaborators will be in the research and development phase for Lunar Retreat.  \nThe work will be shared in four 45-minute intervals (12:30pm\, 1:30pm\, 3pm\, 4pm) for 12 people at a time.
