Planting SEEDS

This summer's SEEDS|Earthdance--"a unique festival dedicated
to Somatic Experiments in Earth, Dance, + Science"--will soon take root in Plainfield, MA (June 9-18):

The theme of this year’s ten-day long SEEDS festival is NOURISHMENT: A crop’s environment—including soil, topography, and climate—imparts a characteristic taste and flavor and must be taken into consideration in cultivation. With care, through interaction, we hope to create an ultra-lush, enriching, and regenerative culture in which to grow our art.

Come for a performance, a film, a research project, a workshop, a jam, or the whole festival!

SEEDS workshops 2010 include:

Benoît Lachambre/Extending the Comfort Zone
K.J. Holmes/Weathering & PineCones (an overnight event)
Pedro Alejandro/Soft Body/Soft Terrain, Open Artist’s Project
Dave Jacke/Eden Arising: Ecological Design as a Spiritual Practice

Plus performances, an ECO jam, discussions, films, artists-in-residence, green m-Art, BodyCartography and more.
