Bycatch by Liquid Spine: Dance Performance

Liquid Spine is ​a global dance series that unearths the environmental needs of our water systems through movement,​ ​community, and conversation.

Their latest project, BYCATCH, brings to life the stories of marine animals impacted by entanglement, whether through ghost gear, pollution, or destructive over-fishing practices such as bottom trawling. This contemporary dance performance uses marine debris collected from the coastlines of Massachusetts. Ropes, nets, and weighted gear are transformed into dynamic, expressive elements that move with a cast of six, professional dancers. Through movement, sound, and repurposed materials, BYCATCH invites audiences to witness the fragility and resilience of marine life. The performance culminates in an opportunity for audiences to connect directly with the artists, ask questions, and deepen their understanding of the embodied, environmental narrative. Free admission (please register in advance—space is limited).
