A trained crew of humonkeys will be giving short demonstrations and hands-on lessons in either hula-hooping, slacklining, or acroyoga. Adults, kids, youngsters and elders will all be guided into safely and playfully trying out one or more of these 3 disciplines.

 DANDELION DANCETHEATER is situated at the crossroads of dance, theater, music, community activism, healing, and new performance forms. The company is committed to the individual and intersecting artistic visions of Kimiko Guthrie and Eric Kupers. Our work is built from a fascination with interdisciplinary experimentation, in-depth collaboration, vulnerability, risk-taking, and the truths that come from looking at the world from an “outsider” perspective. We view the exploration of the endless possibilities of the human body as a potent means for personal and collective growth and share this exploration with diverse populations through performance, teaching, speaking, community events, video, and writing. As an organization, Dandelion Dancetheater is a launching pad and creative home for several ongoing, in-depth projects. Most projects involve multiple branches of Dandelion, and so stretch across categories. More info: http://www.dandeliondancetheater.org |
