Ann Carlson’s “Doggie Hamlet”

Presented by:

Dancers’ Workshop in partnership with Jackson Hole Land Trust presents Ann Carlson, Award-winning choreographer and visionary performance artist in an unconventional experience for families, animal lovers, dance admirers and outdoor enthusiasts.

Doggie Hamlet is a full-length outdoor performance spectacle that weaves dance, music, visual and theatrical elements with aspects from competitive sheep herding trials, investigating the relationship between humans and animals. Recalling the rustic impression of a landscape painting, the work is performed on protected land by four dancers, one boy, one American Sign Language interpreter, local musicians, two herding dogs, and a flock of 30 sheep. Through story, motion, site, and stillness, Doggie Hamlet explores instinct, sentience, attachment and loss.
