Slowly, slowly we begin againā¦
āSlowly, slowly we begin againā¦ā is an evening length dance performance choreographed and performed by artist in residence, Katherine M Yatsko exploring her transition into motherhood through the lens of a snail.
Through immersive scenery and an ethereal soundscape, the audience will be transported into a snailās story; A story of discovering what it means to become home to yourself as you become home to someone else.
Learning to slow down and adapt to the surrounding environment is an integral part to becoming a parent for the first time and Katherine has found solace in exploring that experience through this other world; a world on the forest floor surrounded by oak trees and mossā¦ a world of crickets, snails, and slugsā¦ a world we are invited intoā¦
As the story unspirals, Katherine comes home to herself again and again and again, filling her shell with what matters most to her as she realizes that she, like a snail, can take her home with her wherever she goes.
Suggested Audience Age: +10 While the performance is not inappropriate for young viewers it might not be the most interesting for younger audience members.
Duration: The run time of this performance is 50 minutes and there is no intermission.
PRICE $ 45 early bird before Sept 1 / $ 50 after Sept 1
