MWDCCo toured to Brazil to participate in Eco ’92, the first international (world) earth summit.  Sections of Dance for the Earth were performed in Brasilia.  An open call for dancers took place in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil for dancers to join with MWDCCo dancers to perform Rolling Thunder – Transformation as part of the cultural offerings during the United Nations Earth Summit, Eco ’92.  Rolling Thunder – Transformation was presented, with Brazil and American dancers, on a large outdoor stage on the beach in Rio sponsored by the City of Rio de Janeiro.

What the press is saying

In order to choreograph her recent works, Withers spent days/weeks as a "landsite" - a cave, a rock, sand dunes. "I've developed an understanding of a landsite process here I go to the landsite and I work with the people who live there." she explains. Especially I'm interested in the indigenous people that live there and the history and mythology of that earth." Thus, Withers lives and sleeps outdoors, waking at sunrise in her chosen area of study (New Mexico, Utah, Arizona). That ay, she explains "the earth is the inspiration; it is also the process, it is also the subject." Kim Friedman
