She-verse embraces tenants of eco-feminism that speak to the parallels between oppression and domination of subordinate groups to the oppression and dominance of nature. How women are treated in misogynistic cultures relates to the abuse and rape of land experienced throughout the history of colonization and to the continued subordination of women and persons of color. Through meditative and dream-like states, dancers draw from the powers of nature and ancestry to communicate via the body the healing needed to restore balance to self and earth. Video filmed in nature reminds us that “She-verse” is always there, watching over, patiently awaiting the time for humanity to make amends to restore what is necessary for the sake of all beings and our planet.
