"Urban and Free" is an Homage to The Space Whale sculpture in downtown Reno, NV created by The Pier Group. The Space Whale was first displayed at Burning Man in 2016 and displays a full scale humpback mother and calf. The Space Whale is adored in Reno, NV and it currently faces possible removal from the Reno City Plaza if the city cannot workout a payment agreement with the artists. After heaing this news we decided to create a dance video showcaseing the inspiration The Space Whale creates for the dance community.
