Fields of Ida (25 min.)
Choreographer: Ursula Eagly
Performer: Ursula Eagly

In Norse mythology, the Fields of Ida exist after one world is destroyed and a new one is created. The fields are a halfway place, a way-station between worlds, both an ending and a beginning. This dance takes shape in that dark place.

Fields of Ida is commissioned by Dance Theater Workshop’s Commissioning and Creative Residency Programme with support from the Jerome Foundation, the Ford Foundation, the National Endowment for the Arts, a federal agency, the New York State Council on the Arts, the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs, and the Jerome Robbins Foundation.
