“She is consistently spellbinding” —Another Righteous Transfer
Rebecca Bruno’s Procession Relic has been developed in collaboration with artist and composer Yann Novak and gathers a stellar ensemble of dancers—including Bruno, Alison D’Amato, Jordan Saenz and Flora Wiegmann—who engage attention as a primary choreographic instrument within an undulating atmosphere of sound and light.
The work relates regenerative agricultural methods that support carbon sequestration, a natural capacity of Earth’s soil, to choreographic practice. Our soil actively absorbs, holds and releases carbon—in effect, it breaths. Using choreographic methods that center on the dancer’s similar capacities, Procession Relic utilizes a series of subtle constraints to draw attention to the body, the environment it inhabits, and the ways that each are perceived.
Rebecca Bruno is a dance artist working across performance and visual art. Her work investigates awareness and embodiment in relation to social and environmental change. In 2013, Bruno founded homeLA, a performance project dedicated to dance process in private space working collaboratively with body-based artists and Los Angeles residents. Bruno is half of Objects for Others with Mak Kern. She received a BA in Dance from the University of California San Diego in 2008 and conservatory training at The Jerusalem Academy of Music and Dance 2005-2006 and MELT in New York, NY 2008.
