Description
To commemorate the 1906 San Francisco Earthquake, Ballet Mori engaged the Earth as a living medium and a conductor for dance. In this improvisational performance, SF Ballet Principal Dancer Muriel Maffre responded to a musical composition modulated live by the unpredictable fluctuations of the Earth's movement as measured in real time by a UC Berkeley seismometer at the Hayward Fault.
