Songs of a Wayfarer

To the music of Gustav Mahler's Lieder eines fahrenden Gesellen, Songs of a Wayfarer portryas the inner journey of the wayfarer, searching for symbols and images of home. Surrounded by bird songs and the beauty and abysses of nature, they walk on unstable, fragile grounds looking for a haven.

"...a solo performed by Shiloh was the highlight... The mercurial beauty of her movement kept shading into struggle or grotesquerie, with its edgily detailed filigree of collapses and trembles. Once the nest 'became' her face, Wayfarer became akin to watching a surreal sculpture on the move." seattle times

"Shiloh's elastic limbs melted into and pulled away from the ground with chewy tension – a delicious physicality... Cohen's brilliant way of drawing out Shiloh's vivid emotions proved cathartic." seattle dances
