Project Title
FALLING OUT
Fiscal Year Awarded
2018
Grant or Program
National Theater Project Creation & Touring Grant
Grant Amount
$60,000

Endlessly inventive theater artists Jessica Grindstaff and Erik Sanko offer an emotional call to climate action. Inspired by the catastrophic 2011 tsunami and Fukushima nuclear disaster, this rippling meditation on water, heartbreak, and toxic fallout fuses Japanese butoh tradition and contemporary flex dance with Phantom Limb’s singular style of puppet theater. Created in collaboration with Dai Matsuoka of the transportive dance troupe Sankai Juku, Falling Out weaves music, movement, and design into a haunting tapestry of collective collapse and renewal.
