TerraMontes

Colorado Foothills

United States

2024

TerraMontes is a meditative site-specific screendance which explores an embodied sense of healing with the environment. As with the two previous works from the WECreate Productions’ Terra series, (HinterTerra, and UrbáTerra), the dancers and camera explore the poetics of place through improvisation.
In a matter of hours, The Lower North Fork Fire blazed through more than four thousand acres of pristine forest. Thousands were displaced, the fire destroyed almost thirty homes and resulted in three fatalities. The fire began on March 26, 2012 when firefighters lost control of a planned burn in Foxton, Colorado. Some of the fire was classified as high intensity, making the recovery of the land a very long process or impossible in some cases.
