Our man made waterways

History is held in the structures we create. Using the old Broomfield wastewater plant as a backdrop for a site-specific performance, LITVAK dance will ask audiences to consider the relics left behind by our ancestors hungry to create new realities by developing our natural landscapes to accommodate projected populations. LITVAK will integrate the awareness of waterways as elements flowing through landscape, one which is impacted by human usage, manipulation, and scarring.
