Created specifically for the 15,000-square-foot rooftop of the Old American Can Factory in Gowanus, Brooklyn, Bow Echo unfolds as a landscape of undergoing, traveling through, and spinning out—seeking a path forward. The piece reflects back our collective resilience through unison, endurance, and the power of shared action. The dancers engage with oversized sculptural objects—flags, bells, and panels of Marley that generate sound and shifting visual architectures, transforming movement into resonant form.

Bow Echo was presented by X0 Projects and supported, in part, by a Foundation for Contemporary Arts Emergency Grant.

Bow Echo received the 2022 New York Dance and Performance “Bessie” Award for Outstanding Choreographer/Creator.
