Water Lines is a multimedia autoethnographic dive into childhood and ancestral memories and connections to bodies of water. Water Lines explores the function of memory live in performance. The piece equally explores the collisions between parts of Talia’s religious and spiritual identity.
This work is presented by the University of California, Riverside, Department of Dance and created in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Master of Fine Arts degree in Experimental Choreography.
