Inspired by a 10-year collaboration with the Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute (MBARI), Ocean Trilogy, is a multi-disciplinary dance performance and educational program that weaves together sound bytes from filmed interviews with renowned ocean scientists, stunning underwater footage, and various styles of music and dance. Our goals are to expand ocean literacy. provide immersive movement experiences, and reach under-represented parts of our community. Read more about SpectorDance at
