"Piranesi" is the lead single from Echo Bloom’s album Anabasis, out May 1, 2026.

Inspired by Susanna Clarke's novel of the same name — a story of a man lost in an impossible, beautiful house, its halls full of tides and statues — the video was filmed at St. James the Less Church in Scarsdale, NY, with choreography by Wendy Wood and a company of modern dancers.

Lori Belilove's remarkable Isadora Duncan Dance Company preserves the legacy of Isadora Duncan's work. They performed today original choreography, "Valse Brilliante" (1915) at the Dance Works 2026 Fundraiser Showcase! For those not familiar, Isadora is considered the "mother of modern dance" and Lori is direct lineage, having been taught by Isadora's first pupils, the "Isadorables". Photo by Dwayne Taylor and many more to come from today's benefit performance for The Foundation for Women's Cancer. Donate $5, $15, $25, $50 or $500 (to recognize the 5 gynecological cancers).

BRAVO and congratulations to all the Dance Works dancers on a magnificent performance! ❤️ They should understand that their performance wasn't just about themselves and their families but about making a difference for the long term care patients at the Blythedale Children's Hospital, a worthy cause, and helping those much less fortunate. My deepest gratitude to the dancers, families, staff, volunteers and the support of all families in making this happen! ....it most certainly takes a village!!! Photos by the great Dwayne A. Taylor Photography!
