Audience comments
“It was so well executed and truly moving and beautiful. I appreciate the attention it brings to local nature and history.”
“I really loved the interconnectivity of the music, dance, and the [geology] presentation.”
“Taking in art, in this case, music, dance, visuals, and then being able to deconstruct the art presented and hear from the artists was wonderful. And I loved the interaction of artists and audience in the Q&A.”
“It assumed intelligence and allowed the audience to interpret the dance and music without overguidance on ‘what it means.’”
“It was an amazing experience, I can't stop talking about it.”
“I was deeply moved by the level of passion expressed by those involved in putting the program together and implementing every aspect. It was remarkable.”
