With great admiration for the brazen new structures being built around the world today, Tere O'Connor looks to concepts of adaptability in contemporary architecture as source for Rammed Earth. The new evening-length work brings into evidence the shifting layers of architectural reference in dance. Audience members are incorporated into the expanding, contracting, liquid space of the work, as they are escorted into different viewing positions throughout the performance. Rammed Earth is created in collaboration with O'Connor's longtime artistic partners - lighting designers Brian MacDevitt and Michael O'Connor and composer James Baker - and is performed by Heather Olson, Matthew Rogers, Hilary Clark, and Christopher Williams.

Rammed Earth is made possible by the Doris Duke Fund for Dance of the National Dance Project, a program administered by the New England Foundation for the Arts with funding from the Doris Duke Charitable Foundation, The Ford Foundation, The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, JP Morgan Chase Foundation and MetLife Foundation. Rammed Earth was created with the generous support of The Multi-Arts Production (MAP) Fund; the National Endowment for the Arts; Altria Group, Inc.; and the Bossak-Heilbron Charitable Foundation. Rammed Earth is also made possible, in part, with funds from the 2007-08 Danspace Project Commissioning Initiative with support from the Mid-Size Presenting Organizations Initiative, implemented by the Nonprofit Finance Fund and funded by the Doris Duke Charitable Foundation.
