EROSIONS is an environmental dance project grounded in community participation, including free movement workshops, public performances by participants in Provincetown’s varied landscapes, and a range of interviews with local residents, historians and environmental scientists. The piece is a reflection on the inevitability of change, the forces of cultural erosion, and the erosion of the site itself. Movement workshops were be led by Michael Spencer Phillips and a cast of New York City-based dancers and ran throughout June. Culminating performances with the professional dancers performing alongside local dancers, took place on Race Point Beach, on June 20 and 21, 2025. The project will ultimately be presented as a video installation with live music, featuring an original score by composer Steven Sametz, and performed by Miles and Domenic Salerni.

Site: Provincetown, MA

Dancers: Lloyd Knight, Deepa Liegel, Andrew van Allen

The Race Point Beach performances (June 20, 21) were covered by the Provincetown Independant “ The Motion of Erosion” by Eve Samaha.
