A dance, film, and performance piece inspired by the natural environment in and around Joshua Tree National Park will be held this Saturday at the Joshua Tree Retreat Center.
The Alchemy Arts Collective presents “Chasing the Light,” a show that utilizes two mediums: a live dance performance and its adaptation into film. The film unfolds within the natural backdrop of Joshua Tree, providing a unique angle on the choreography as it integrates the movement into the environment that initially inspired the project.
Historically, our species have communed together using nature to tell stories, pass down knowledge, and explain the mysteries of life, and gathering in nature is a thread running through every culture. “Chasing the Light” explores the connection between nature and humanity, a scale with intense power that puts our existence into perspective, inviting us to contemplate our place in this vast universe.
Doors are at 6:30, show at 7 PM in the Sanctuary at the Joshua Tree Retreat Center, tickets available at the door.
