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.
