Glaciology is a performance art installation by Brandy Leary of Anandam Dance Theatre. It was continuously active for the full 12 hours of Nuit Blanche Toronto 2015. Using the movements of glaciers across the earth's surface as an entry point, this piece explores states of density, collaboration, collapse, overpopulation, relocation, disruption, environmental tipping points, mass graves, icebergs, and melting ice caps. Glaciology is a site specific performance that combines choreography with human sculpture and interactive technology. This creates a surreal, constantly shifting image of bodies as landscape and simultaneously as capsules of history and memory; both human and geological.
