Ephrat Asherie collaborates with GRAMMY® award-winning pianist and composer Arturo O’Farrill on the company’s newest creation, "Shadow Cities," a reflection on the beauty, vastness and joy of the in-between. Bringing together Asherie’s innovative and rigorous choreography with O’Farrill’s singular and mesmerizing sound, Shadow Cities is a beautiful extension of EAD’s dedication to working with live music. With a cast of 6 dancers and 4 musicians, this work explores what it means to stay afloat in the in-between. We are split between cities, memories and generations; we are an amalgam of cultures, fully embodied and fragmented all at once; our movements are concurrently malleable and explosive, our identities fixed and infinitely fluid. Whether as immigrants, BIPOC identities or first generation Americans, this feeling of in-betweenness connects everyone in the work as we ask how and why—halfway between so many disparate extremes in time, space and state—we often feel our most enlivened selves. It is from this vivid place that "Shadow Cities" comes to life. Ephrat Asherie Dance on Facebook / Instagram Arturo O’Farrill on Facebook / Instagram

They are jointly working to begin the electrification of "indirect sources" of warehouse operations through expediting the transition to clean fleets, looking to combat pollution coming from operation equipment, and lowering emissions in the largest warehouse polluters.
