Compass is a metaphor for the heart; orienting the body through multiple dimensions and acting as a conduit for the interplay of forces of the seen and unseen world. Each moment in time holds the echo of past, present, and future. A woman, her bench, her shawl, and her bundle; each one connected to the other and shaping the direction she takes. Compass asks: Why does the edge call to us? What awaits us there?
Compass is a stand-alone duet for Olivia and Rosemary in their roles as Blue and Rose from Crow’s Nest.
