We continue to flow through our year of Water, Community and Care with this global event. Global Water Dances invites us to engage with our local watersheds, and the water-related issues that are crucial to the health of our ecosystems and the humans who are a part of them.
Water connects us to our dreaming.
Water is a force to be reckoned with.
Water is the first medicine, the source of our vitality, and a source of creativity. Tap in!
Join Valeska Populoh, Sanahara Ama Chandra, Sister Stream Catcher and Vital Matters founder Michele Minnick for gatherings along Herring Run that celebrate water through ritual, poetry, dance, and somatic movement.
There are various levels of participation possible in this event. You can:
- Rehearse (June 7, June 11) and perform in the Global Water Dance on June 14.
- Join us for the June 7 Gathering only. We will walk, explore, sound, move, prepare.
- Just show up on June 14 to participate in the Ritual and Participatory Dance.
- Support the organizers of the event!
ABOUT US
Founded in 2021, in Baltimore, Maryland, Vital Matters is a hub and laboratory for cross-disciplinary events, artistic projects, and educational programs for all ages. We work with artists, activists and others to stage conversations, create rituals, and transform spaces and relationships among and between human and more-than-human communities. The climate crisis, environmental injustice, and systemic racism are part of the human inheritance that motivates us. Our focus and our reach are both local and global. Our primary tools for transformation are partnership, collaboration, joy, and creativity. Our methods draw from many sources, including experimental theatre, somatic movement education, and abolitionist approaches to social life and organziational leadership. We invite you to join us in shaping change, and imagining a just and vital future for all.
