Lying on Iguanas

A woman lying on an iguana begins to absorb the lizard’s skin patterns. Insects become humans and morph back again into insects. Who or what will be the last species on earth? These images and issues are explored when DONNA STERNBERG & DANCERS premieres Lying on Iguanas, a full evening-length work. Lying on Iguanas examines the paradoxical relationship humans have with the natural environment, on the one hand admiring its beauty and diversity and on the other being a participant in its destruction. The genesis of the work began when Ms. Sternberg was awarded an artist residency in Costa Rica and met fellow resident artist Kathi Packer, whose visual art deals with the earth’s fragile ecosystem. Traveling through the country with its myriad and diverse ecosystems. the two artists decided to collaborate on this project. They have designed a set that evolves throughout the work and Ms. Packer’s paintings have inspired themes and images in the dance. Prior to the performance at 7:30 p.m. there will be a panel discussion with environmental experts moderated by Dr. Charles Kopczak, curator of ecology at the California Science Center. The focus on the environment could not be more timely, and the combination of the panel discussion and performance, focusing on the same environment issues from different perspectives, ensures a lively and stimulating evening.
