The dance is buoyed by an original score by Steve Elson, which ranges from the soulful sax to lilting calypso to the lullaby of human breathing. Barbara Bickart's video projections, which The New York Times compared to the work of Milton Avery, evoke a world both dream-like and instantly familiar. Her images are drawn from the stories shared by participants in the community workshops. They are projected onto costumes by Clint Ramos that transform the dancers into a worn armchair or a field of wheat, or allow them to literally disappear into a handwriting-filled sky.

Whole Sky is the culmination of The Becoming Whole Project, a two-year-long initiative investigating the sources of resiliency and strength in ourselves and our communities.

Whole Sky was commissioned by the Bessie Schonberg/First Light commissioning program of Dance Theater Workshop.
