Artichoke Dance Company
Visioning Bodies, a contemporary folk dance for a resilient future, creates a way of existing in place, time, and energy that models co-created and interconnected systems. Inspired by working along the Los Angeles River, Visioning Bodies reflects on the complexities of nature in urban settings and the desire to both control and preserve nature. Visioning Bodies will move throughout the Cooper Hewitt garden, as well as around and in the sculpture entitled Petrified River, installed in the garden.
