-Excerpt from The Ritual Poem by Masha Shcherbyna
‘Vesna’
Inspired by the conflict happening in Ukraine right now (my home country) and set to the hauntingly beautiful soundscape of the Ukrainian band, DakhaBrakha. 'Vesna' means Spring in Ukrainian and it is my prayer that Ukraine enters its Vesna and period of growth, renewal and peace soon. I hope to evoke that through this piece combining my love for my country, classical Ukrainian folk dance and contemporary dance. I dance for Ukraine. Slava Ukraina
Concept & Choreography: Masha Shcherbyna
Music: Vesna by DakhaBrakha
