‘Se entra bailando \/ You enter dancing’ by Alva Mooses is a gathering of cast concrete sandal forms in a bed of volcanic rock around a modular wood platform that invites the public to dance. The piece is inspired by the Pur\u00e9pecha \u2018troje\u2019\u2014vernacular architecture that is nomadic by design and history of the Paricut\u00edn volcano in Michoac\u00e1n, M\u00e9xico. Born amidst a cornfield in 1943, the Paricut\u00edn volcano eruption forced the Pur\u00e9pecha residents of San Juan Parangaricutiro to relocate and left only fragments of the local church visible. The title is taken from the practice of entering the new church in San Juan Parangaricutiro dancing in order to realize prayers and dreams.<\/p>\n
Mooses invited Dancer Sandra Soto to activate her project with a performance of \u2018Danza de los Viejitos\u2019 at the https:\/\/socratessculpturepark.org\/program\/the-2019-socrates-annual-exhibition-opening\/Exhibition Opening Celebration on Saturday, October 5th at 4:30pm.<\/p>\n
