A powerful evening of dance that confronts our most urgent and timeless connection: humankind’s relationship with the natural world. Choreographed by Samuel Pott with original scores by acclaimed composer & collaborator Qasim Naqvi, ANIMA unfolds through three visceral works: Patch of Turf, Falling Sky, and Dark Water, each probing the fragile balance between humanity and environment.

By turns intense, poignant, and expansive, ANIMA invites audiences to question and ultimately reimagine our place within the natural world.
