Broadchannel

a dance performance by Mia Martelli

Broadchannel is a solo that visits childhood bedroom performance-making. The 2000s-era sounds, drawings, lighting, poems, and unfinished choreographies created in private are put on display and repurposed as a platform for contemporary questions around aging, spirituality, and environmental collapse.

Improvised dances emerge in response to the rhythm, colors, and temperatures of Massachusetts Peninsulas. The rapture and horror of intensifying tides serve as non-fiction mythology, shaking the prospect of building a future in a place surrounded by water.
