Deep Water consists of several short form works (Short Haul (live performance), Shantyman (live performance), & Long Drag (screendance)) set to sea shanties & original compositions by Duluth Artist George Ellsworth. The work explores sea shanties as a device to structure & inform choreography while also examining pace, work & community.

Sections of Deep Water have been presented as part of Rhythmically Speaking’s The Cohort 20/21 (Mpls, Mn, 2021), Good Night at the Southern Theater (Mpls, Mn, 2020), & the Minnesota Fringe Festival (Mpls, Mn, 2019).
