How can we see and feel connectedness, to our own roots, families (blood or chosen) and communities? And how might working directly with tree communities help us see, feel and recognize our interdependence—with one another and responsibility toward all life?
NETWORK addresses human survival and what we truly need– from sustainable living practices to communal engagement and empathy, as we recognize and build our resilience. Considering climate change, racial inequity and other immediate crises and the economic and civil impacts of them all, the project is inspired by systems of communication, resource-sharing and survival employed in tree communities, as a lens to consider human community building.
The project is co-created by a team of performers, scientists, land stewards and designers, working with trees and land, utilizing dance, theater and media design, to create a multi-dimensional, tactile, embodied experience, connecting audience participants with the site, themselves and one another. Together we create communal systems and strategies toward our own survival.
NETWORK explores systems of communication, resource-sharing and survival employed in tree communities as a lens to consider human community building. NETWORK is being developed by Krista DeNio with a team of artists, scientists, and designers. On September 18th audiences will get a glimpse into the immersive visual and creative design being developed toward the premiere of NETWORK at Djerassi Resident Artists Program in partnership with CounterPulse in Summer 2022.
---------------------------------------------------------
NETWORK will be developed throughout Winter and Spring 2022, with engagements at CounterPulse and in the Tenderloin; followed by a Summer 2022 residency at Djerassi Resident Artists Program, and project premiere in Summer 2022.
