September brings movement to Wildflower Playhouse, with Dancing Earth's eco somatic movement work in artistic residency, exploring themes of land, water, and celestial navigation.

The individual and collective body's intuition, imagination, and memory will weave together strands of land and sky... wind and water guiding migrations... navigating by stars and nurturing seeds as offerings... breathing the plant medicines of trees and flowers... in a journey of restoring and re-story-ing relationships with inner and outer dreamscapes and all forms of life in between.

Featuring daily open public workshops led by Founding Artistic Director/Choreographer Rulan Tangen of Dancing Earth, joined by Māori guest artist Jade Whaanga from New Zealand. Select local community dance artists will  be invited to join the creative process to create : “... weaving waters … “  a  performance ritual of embodied story that weaves solos and small group works with multi-sensory engagement of participants.

“ …. Weaving waters …” will feature

• Friday evening Sept 12 will be preceded by  beloved artistic colleague Erin Currier's powerful dance-inspired paintings in a gallery opening 

• Saturday evening Sept 13  and artist/audience dialogues following performance 

Daily workshops Sept 6-11 are intended for all levels, ages, bodies and backgrounds, featuring Jade Whaanga’s Moana in Motion, EARTH BODY eco somatic movements, The Flowering Way morning meditations, Earth Warrior lunchtime fitness, and Dancing Earth's movement language developed over 20 years.
