“Mapping the River” performance melds science and art

An interdisciplinary team of U-M faculty members and students collaborated on this 45- minute performance work about the Huron River. The intricately layered piece interweaves live and recorded music, dance, video and poetry.

The endless cycle of water inspires the work: rainfall trickling into headwaters streams that form the Huron, which flows to the Great Lakes and on to the ocean, where clouds bring more rain and renew the cycle.
