Schedule:

2:00PM -- Guided Tour with Wild Gather

$15–$30 General Admission
Outdoors

Wild Gather co-founders Lauren Giambrone and Mandana Boushee invite the public to join a 90-minute nature walk through the beautiful 153-acre campus of Kaatsbaan Cultural Park. This exploration will allow participants to discover the many habitats and plants that call the park home, and learn about the endless portals of inspiration they provide. Designed in conversation with Emily Coates and Emmanuéle Phuon from the production WE, this nature walk is an invitation and space for curious and shy plant nerds to connect with our plant kin. This walk will take place rain or shine, but in the event of dangerously inclement weather, this tour will be modified into an indoor medicine-making workshop. Don't miss out on this chance to explore the great outdoors with Wild Gather at Kaatsbaan Cultural Park.

4:00PM + 7:00PM -- WE, An Evening-Length Collaboration between Emily Coates + Emmanuèle Phuon

70 minutes
$25 General Admission
Black Box Theater, Studio Complex + Grounds

WE is an evening-length collaboration between Emily Coates and Emmanuèle Phuon, both former dancers of Mikhail Baryshnikov’s and Yvonne Rainer’s companies. The performance combines storytelling in movement, words and images, taking place both indoors on a theatrical stage and outdoors in selected natural settings. The landscapes serve as a character in the work, reflecting on themes of animism, ecology, and astronomy through the mediums of postmodern dance and Cambodian classical dance. The artists use their memories and shared experiences to provoke the audience, leaving them with a heightened sensitivity to the environment around them. The work is powerful, necessary, and immediate yet primordial at the same time. Emmanuèle Phuon's work is directed by Vincent Dunoyer and performed by Emmanuèle Phuon and Amelia Dawe Sanders. Emily Coates' work is directed by Ain Gordon and performed by Charlie Burnham, Emily Coates, and Derek Lucci. 

Program A begins outdoors (Phuon) and moves indoors (Coates) Total Run Time: 69 min
