Rest. Rise.Move.Nourish.Heal is site-responsive dance ritual created by Founder and Artistic Director. This new work was developed in relation to the urban farm, ART ON THE FARM in GRANT PARK, a space stewarded and visually designed by Erika Allen and Urban Growers Collective. Sanders-Ward visions this work as “a practice, a process, an uncovering of the beautiful labor of bringing us ALL home to land, reclaiming ancestral cultural traditions, technologies, and tools that can lead to individual and collective healing. Vershawn Sanders-Ward in collaboration with composer/music director Avery R. Young.
