The multimedia dance event
is described by Buck and Lee as incorporating an ongoing theme of environmental
awareness, using the fundamentals of global warming combined with traditional
folklore to construct a narrative dance story. The concert will fuse its

live musical performance, video projection, and several styles of dance,
including modern, hip-hop, jazz, tribal and ballet.
