“My vision is to use body language to demonstrate how dance can communicate, locate a nerve, and unhinge a narrative.” – Jodi Melnick

Melnick is “one of the most beautiful dancers there ever was—full of delicacy, lucidity, sensuality, mystery, and ferocity, which gives her an indelible sense of drama” – Gia Kourlas, DANCE magazine

A homage to Ukrainian-born Brazilian writer Clarice Lispector’s extraordinary feminist novel, choreographer and dancer Jodi Melnick and collaborator Maya Lee-Parritz’s duo Água Viva expands upon Lispector’s notions of virtuosity, sexuality, and the spectacular, probing the limits of spontaneity through intricate movement.
