Follow Up & Reflection Hour

As a counterbalance to the consumption-driven madness that is Cyber Monday, our team of artists and activists invited the public to a moment of shared reflection on our fragile reality:
~ Q & A with renowned Activist, Scientist and Author Fritjof Capra on his methods and thoughts around climate awareness
~ Discussion with choreographers Kelly Ashton Todd and Cameron KcKinney on their process of creating site-specific works for this unique setting
~ Live water-themed musical act by singer-songwriter Katy Gunn

Recording of 2-hour zoom session available here.

Each featured a theme introduction by renowned scientist, educator, writer and activist Fritjof Capra (view video here) a newly commissioned site-specific dance work performed across several outdoor stages, and guest artist performances.
