Self Made Man Man Made Land is a construction project built by two dancers and a musician. Their materials are movement, voice, and live recording. Relying on dynamic tensions between them, the three raise a structure together. This new work was created by Ursula Eagly in collaboration with dancer Abby Block and composer Kohji Setoh. 

“Ms. Eagly’s darkly humorous, often violent imagination is to be treasured, and cultivated. You want to follow her rabbit-hole logic, even when stymied by it.”  — The New York Times
