In this Prologue for RIPENING : Dawn of the Wylding, (an eco-feminist dance experience by Vanessa Walters), the ensemble cast is introduced as a collection of isolated, emotionally combustible urban women, who upon reaching an internal breaking point, make the decision to give in to the primal energies ready to explode out of their bodies.

“Dawn of the Wylding” premiered at the Irondale Theater in Brooklyn in November 2023.
