Tethering (2020)
In La Union, Philippines, dance artist Ea Torrado finds herself tethering to a practice of ‘embodies listening’ to the ground, the winds and the sun. Ea roots herself to the sensory experience the natural environment is moving her, as she negotiates being the originator of the movement and being the channel through which movement happens in every prolific, present moment.
As a reiki healer and practitioner of other intuitive healing modalities, and someone deeply interested in angels, spirit guides, extra-terrestrials, multi-dimensional beings, as well as the spiritual legacies and practices of the Filipino Shaman, Priestess, or Babaylan— many questions influence her in this dance, one of them being— When are we all going to come back home?
