Global Water Dances
Global Water Dances (www.GlobalWaterDances.org) began as a collective idea of an international group of individuals, certified by the Laban/Bartenieff Institute of Movement Studies (LIMS), with decades of experience in producing Movement Choirs: events that use community dance to create social cohesion through non-verbal communication. We connect and support a global community of choreographers and dancers to inspire action and international collaboration for water issues through the universal language of dance. 2021 is our sixth Global Water Dances event and our 10th year working and dancing together for safe water.
Coney Island Art Dance - CIAD
Coney Island Art Dance - CIAD is a site-specific event of Global Water Dance. CIAD will engage local artists in Brooklyn, New York to raise people’s awareness about Coney Island’s pollution from the individuals, infrastructure and natural storms. Artists of different backgrounds will improvise artworks and will be documented into a short film. After the event, the artworks and film will be exhibited on CIAD website.
Art, Dance, Community, Environment
We celebrate water and life through the art of dance. Dance is a universal language, a way to eliminate the barrier among us, and enables us to create, communicate and appreciate art freely and equally, beyond time and space. Holding this belief, how do our local artists respond to the issue of water and environment?

艺术，舞蹈，社区，环境
舞蹈是一种全世界共通的语言，使我们超越时间与空间的束缚，自由平等地交流与欣赏艺术。“康尼岛成了一座长满草的现代曼哈顿的模型” ——雷姆库哈斯
作为曼哈顿建设的实验田的Coney Island，已逐渐逝去往日的风采，成为一片被逐渐遗忘的旅游之地。沙滩与游乐场的游人垃圾，暴风雨侵蚀，以及污水管道泄露将Coney Island变为纽约市污染第三严重的水体。我们期待通过这次位于纽约Coney Island的活动，唤起当地艺术家群体对水体和环境问题的思考与回应，并提高社区居民对于水资源的保护意识，同时唤回市民对于纽约城市历史记忆。
