As part of Somerville Art Council's Dancing the Streets festival (a

free outdoor dance series), Excavate is a collective of performing

artists, focused on making outdoor site specific events that unfold

through dance, theater, music and song in relationship and in response

to the land and its history. Led by Alli Ross, Excavate is committed to

digging in and finding interesting and curious connection between the

body landscape and urban and rural topography. This is Excavate’s 2nd

installation of Topographical Tales. It was last seen as part of Dance

in the Fells 2013 in Medford’s Middlesex Fells.. It feels essential to

do so to more deeply connect to and question the nature of place and our

physical relationship to it.
