rivercities is a developing international choreographic project by sirenscrossing's Carolyn Deby, Pia Nordin, and Cara Siu – along with composer Keith Johnson – focusing on several river communities' relationship with their respective rivers: the Yukon River in northwest Canada, the River Lea in southeast England, and Göta älv in west Sweden.

sirenscrossing: In all river cities, rivers are relevant to the history, culture and development. Local perspectives vary across continents and the globe but, as individuals, we share a fundamental interdependence with the water moving through our lives. What is a river’s relationship to the fluids coursing through our bodies? How is this circulation connected to the flows in our everyday lives? How has the city reconstituted or redesigned nature and are we therefore also spiritually/physically/intellectually altered too? What are the global interactions? rivercities will gather ideas and material from the environment and interaction with local communities. Working with public places and local people is important – embracing both somatic and psychogeographic methods. rivercities will seek a synthesis between science, poetry, kinaesthetic and embodied expression, and connect ordinary people to their environment. It will find and illuminate truths about the human place within ecology. It will make profound and far-reaching philosophical/material connections between different human settlements on earth. Public performances in several rivercities are planned for Canada, England, Sweden, and beyond.
