(15 minutes/ 6 dancers)

The piece is constructed to be a site-specific work that the dancers adapt spontaneously to each new theater setting (for example, the first duet usually takes place in and amongst the audience). Throughout the three sections of the piece, the audience becomes a witness to each dancer’s personal experience of ecstasy, which ranges from quiet internal exploration to raw fearless attack. Naoko Nagata designed the costumes and Composer Daniel Bernard Roumain has created an original score.

“Wildly imaginative…a distinctive group work, ‘Island Solutions,’ made effective use of hand-held lights to showcase Wood's choreographic invention and the dancers' electrifying physicality.”
-Jennifer de Poyen, The San Diego Union-Tribune
