FLORENCE 

 

There is a lake in Northern Ontario called Florence. Nature, this place, experiences camping and portaging ~ all have inspired The Dietrich Group’s newest work. FLORENCE is both about the act of seeing and being immersed in the view; like the simultaneous experience of looking at a landscape, and being a part of nature. An exploration of the body in a landscape, FLORENCE sets out to find physical intimacy in silhouette – the intimacy of the player playing and the watcher watching, and that which is in between. This incubation of Florence premiered in March 2016 at The Collective Space, a former sound stage off Sterling Avenue in the emerging Lower Junction Triangle. 

 

“My relationship to this place is one of meditative, awestruck beauty. Here, I feel closer to the sky, and more connected to the surface of the earth. There is a tactile energy that manifests as constant change. I see differently, and am connected both to a sense of home, and to a deep, weathered history.”
