LucidBeings Dance premiers an original production, The Edge Effect, featuring choreography by Franki Graham and Jeanna Riscigno and sound score by composer Timothy Nohe. Inspired by the extraordinary biome created at the merging of two ecosystems, the dancers explore the potential for cooperation, support and sustainability possible when diverse communities are brought together as one. Discover the beauty that is possible at their intersection: Dive the ocean, play in the grasses of the prairie, experience the vastness of the tundra and swing through the branches of the rainforest with LucidBeings in this one-night only performance.
