T I C K E T S

‘Sediment’ is a live multimedia show based on Reid Willis’ latest album of the same name. Through live music, abstract video projection, and contemporary dance choreographed by Whitney Willis Hebert, the show explores the physical processes of sediment – erosion, decay, metamorphosis, and change through loss – as a metaphor for the human experience of evolution through inevitable change. Sediment is an expansion upon Willis’ original music to create an immersive and stimulating stage experience.
