“Knowing that you love the earth changes you, activates you to defend and protect and celebrate. But when you feel that the earth loves you in return, that feeling transforms the relationship from a one-way street into a sacred bond.” -Robin Wall Kimmerer Return Dance Project: Returning to the Earth, becoming part of the land again. We camped under a sky full of bright stars together after shooting this video. Dancing barefoot in the sand, we reconnected with ourselves, each other, and the land. The sand, the softest pillow we ever laid our heads on. We plunged and dove, cleansed and danced. We healed. Re-stitching, re-weaving, re-planting. The sand turned us orange and we brought it home in our hearts. Song is "Your Sweater" by Samba Fogo. Filmed on Anasazi homelands by Joshua Samson. Concept, artistic direction, and video editing by Lorin Hansen. Dancers: Mallory Howard, Rayna Wiles, Clare Tobin, Lorin Hansen
