The Energy Never Dies (E.N.D.) represents an interdisciplinary collaboration of dance and music, aimed at exploring the concept of “cypher” within dance communities. This term refers to the openness and generosity that exists within the circular dance formation that energizes the communal flow state. This conduction of energy is characterized by the exchange of creativity and movement between individuals both inside andoutside the circle. The Energy Never Dies meditates on patterns, cycles and rhythms formed between dancers, community and onlookers to further investigate energy and movement as a state of being that tethers and connects us to one another both socially and culturally.
