an outdoor art and performance event

premiered November 2-4, 2007at the National Conservation Training Center, Shepherdstown, WV

Cam Millar (composer), Colleen Tracey (visual artist), and Kitty Clark (choreographer)

This traveling performance lasted approximately one hour. It began at a pond, meandered through wooded pathways, and culminated at NCTC’s picturesque pedestrian bridge. Dance, music, and visual art were woven together to provide opportunties to reconnect with the natural environment and to ponder our past human history in that environment.

Joining co-creators Millar, Tracey, and Clark were dancers Tosha Tillman, Eva Olsson, and Ray Shaw, and musicians Don Oehser, Laura First, Richard Hopkins, and Gay Henderson. Vibrant orange, red, and pink felted costumes, a giant copper book, cummerbunds on trees, Native American flute wafting through the woods, enthusiastic outbursts of movement, intimate moments and stories amongst trees, ghosts and memories, movement and stillness, time for inward reflection and outward observing.
