Communi-tree is an illuminating dance program offering a creative experience of nature for children grades K-6. The Time Lapse Dance ensemble, directed by choreographer Jody Sperling, is renowned for creating visually-stunning and accessible programs merging performing arts and ecology. This event features highlights from Arbor, a dance about the relationship between trees and people, and Plastic Harvest, a romp about plastic pollution that gets kids thinking about what—and who—society throws away. Sperling offers engaging commentary between pieces and a participatory dancing experience for all. The hour-long program concludes with a Q&A.
Hosted by Ethical educators Audrey Kindred and Barbara Carlsen.
