The Circle or Prophetic Dream is anthropological research on how the body and sound inhabit social space as new forms of nomadism. Princeton Arts Fellow Christopher “Unpezverde” Núñez and students in his fall course, “Introduction to Vortex: A Sacred Dance Practice,” excavate memory through psychospiritual embodiment to experience collective trance, community and empowerment.
Núñez and sound designer Alfonso Castro are developing an acoustic practice that regenerates the cells of the dancers; particularly Black, indigenous, disabled, and immigrant dancers who carry intergenerational fatigue. Set and Costume Designer, Branden Charles Wallace, takes inspiration from the circle as a cultural, ancestral, and mystical symbol that has captivated the human imagination through time.
