Earth and Ceremony
Earth and Ceremony is a performance art group created by Rachel Green and DL Salo in 2016. Their work includes an array of disciplines including dance, modern opera, sound installations, classical and electronic music, and film. The group often collaborates with other artists in producing new and exciting work.
Rachel Green
Rachel Green creates site-specific multimedia performances that tell stories about our human condition. She regards the body as a container for emotions, infusing her work with delicate and volatile expressions of human feeling. The work invokes a sense of the primal and cerebral while exploring ancient and mythic themes. Green takes inspiration from nature as a way to harness one’s own power, wildness, wonder, and freedom.
DL Salo
Salo experiments with blending synthesizers, noise/ambience and electronic music into his own classical background. His music has been featured in film and t.v. and widely used in performance art and dance. Salo’s music is both haunting and hopeful, influences from minimalism and the avant garde he aims to create unique scores into the ethereal.
