The Way of Water: Miami is a large-scale, outdoor performance featuring the movement and stories of Miami-Dade employees who steward the county’s complex water systems. From wastewater plant operators to distribution field crews, water quality testing technicians to canal maintenance teams, employees will show the skillful and often challenging work they do to keep Miami’s water moving. The performance will also include Miami-Dade water experts—local scientists, artists and community members—who will illuminate the elaborate story of water in South Florida through song, video, and performance.
The dance is directed by Allison Orr and produced by Lisa Byrd with production design by Stephen Pruitt and musical compositions by Orión Garcia and Graham Reynolds. Forklift choreographers are Rachel Nayer and Francis Rodriguez. Miami artists, advisors and collaborating organizations including Teo Castellenos, Monica Lopez de Victoria, Arsimmer McCoy, Michelle Grant-Murray, Houston Cypress and Love the Everglades Movement, Brenda Krebs of the Office of Resilience, Tiffany Troxler and Florida International University’s Sea Level Solutions Lab and The Miami Sound Choir.

Moss Cultural Arts Center with partnership from the Miami-Dade Department of Cultural Affairs, Miami-Dade Water and Sewer Department, Miami-Dade Department of Transportation and Public Works, Miami-Dade Office of Resilience, and the Miami-Dade Department of Regulatory and Economic Resources.
