The work comments on the era of suspicion, mass media, war, the death of romance and the disconnection of mankind from each other, but the increased connection we share through social networking.

Originally performed in an excerpted form for the Inaugural Brooklyn Dance Festival in 2012.

Time cycles and habits repeat until a conscious choice is made to find the missing pieces.
3114 BCE (2010) choreographed by, Bradley Shelver with music by Ravel, premiered at the REVERBdance Festival in NYC in 2010. 3114 BCE is the start of the 5000 year Mayan Calendar that was rumored to be the apocalypse of December 21, 2012. It is a commentary on the lack of human evolution, the idea that deep down, we have remained the caveman, craving nothing but food, sex and self-preservation.
