Join us as Hope Stone Dance takes its final bow in three performances combining live dance and our newest film horse latitudes, choreographed and directed by Jane Weiner, Artistic Director of Hope Stone Dance, and created with Director of Photography Ben Doyle of BEND Productions, composer Ran Bagno, editor Ari Feldman, and the nine company dancers featured in the film. Shot on location at two ranches and in Downtown Houston, the footage combines stables, indoor riding rings, open fields and vacant downtown streets.
Horse latitudes are the regions 30 degrees north and south of the Equator, high pressure areas of calm winds. The legend around the phrase comes from ships sailing to the New World that would stall for weeks where crews, unable to sail, would throw horses they were transporting overboard to conserve water. horse latitudes is the journey of nine dancers, exploring how and whether we can collectively heal over time.
