“We have around a 15-piece show, and the show kind of navigates all the different layers that are kind of representative of the evaporating Great Salt Lake," said Lawlor."So we have consumption, I’m choreographing a piece about capitalism." “Dehydration is a big one – kind of the after-effects of the water crisis, what would happen if it’s completely gone,” Twahirwa said. “Feelings, I think it’s very social and emotional, lot of connections and pulling apart. I’m also in a piece where we talk about the salt crystalizing and how important that process is.”
The performances will be at the Larimer center for the performing arts Friday and Saturday at 7 p.m., something that dance teacher Sophia Cutrubus is excited to finally showcase.
