From The Ashes is a suite of music for a 10-piece chamber ensemble that tells a narrative story of the life-cycle of a forest through compelling modern dance and visual projection.
The piece asks the following questions: what role do we as humans play in the story of a forest? Are we caretakers? Co-inhabitants? Destroyers? Forest fire has become the norm in our lives, rather than the exception, and we must face these questions head-on if we are to change this trajectory and protect our precious forests.
Performances of From The Ashes are accompanied by community engagement with local ecologists and forest-fire experts about the changing paradigm of how we approach wildland fires, as well as the intersection of art making and ecological activism. This program was piloted during the April 2024 workshop residency of the piece through a series of hikes and talkbacks with the Sonoma Ecology Center and members of the Sonoma, CA community who lived through the 2017 Tubbs Fire, thanks in part to support from the Sonoma County Board of Supervisors.
