June 2013 : Invisible River
As a part of the Hidden City Festival, Invisible River was a site-specific performance of song, sculpture, and soaring ballet above the Schuylkill River.
The project advocated for the health of the Schuylkill River and promoted education about how to create a more sustainable, swim-able and drinkable river.
A choir of nine singers performed compositions by Elliott Miskovicz (A Stick and A Stone) while dancers turned the 116 year old Strawberry Mansion Bridge into a trapeze theater, with an aerial ballet of two dancers swinging and interacting from the bridge on their way to submerge into the Schuylkill River.
