Kathy Hey of Chicago’s Third Coast Review covers The Seldoms’s latest performance FLOE, which premiered at the Dance Center: “Floe is a haunting 85-minute dervish of contemplative and elongated movements, pulling together and apart.”

“Floe is a dance‑theater work that confronts the climate crisis not as a distant abstraction but as a lived, bodily reality.” Splash Magazine’s LaRita S. Smith reviews The Seldoms’s recent Chicago premiere of Floe, their latest work.

Like all of Natya Dance Theatre’s canon, “Sharīra Sharīri – Held Within” is representative of Artistic Director Hema Rajagopalan’s philosophy, put simply, “to get better, to love each other, to share, to lose one’s ego.” Rather than narrating philosophy, Natya’s work embodies it, allowing the audience to experience phenomenally the interconnection of all beings and how they are intertwined with the source of life, a message as old as the practice of philosophy itself, re-imagined by a classical dance company whose tradition is to be contemporary.

The Seldoms’ postponed “Floe” about climatechange premieres in a hotter world. New City Stage’s Sharon Hoyer talks to Carrie Hanson about The Seldoms’s upcoming premiere of FLOE at the Dance Center.
