The Great American Road Trip goes virtual through contemporary dance. Developed primarily via Skype, this multimedia performance explores physical and virtual distance through the lens of female friendship and cross country travel. Blending dance, film, personal story and song, the performers search for home in the digital age. Featuring Mountain Empire members Eliza Larson and Rachel Rugh, as well as video appearances by guest artists Emily German and Annie McGhee.
