Passage - a traveling movement + sound experience through the prairie

Join tbd. dance collective for Passage; an outdoor, guided, traveling movement and sound experience at Glacier Creek Preserve. Attendees will walk the main trail within the Preserve where they will encounter movement and sound installations at five locations throughout the tall grass prairie. Each performance location was carefully selected in conversation with Preserve Operations Administrator, Tracy Coleman, for the purpose of highlighting the tall grass prairie conservation efforts of the preserve, and celebrating this unique Nebraska landscape through movement and sound.

Our intent is to create a thought provoking and intimate site specific performance experience that allows audience members to connect with nature, movement, sound, and surroundings. Audiences for each performance will be limited in size (20-30 people) Registration is required. If you register and are no longer able to attend, please let us know as soon as possible so we may open up a spot for someone else.

LENGTH AND STRUCTURE OF THE PERFORMANCE: The guided experience will be 1 hour in length, with attendees remaining on the path. The audience will stop at multiple 5-7 minute performance locations. Travel time between performance locations is 5 minutes of walking for a total of 20-25 minutes of walking and 25-28 minutes of standing.
