NOoSPHERE Arts is delighted to announce WE ARE NATURE: Rising and Falling | Earth Ethics, a highly anticipated event celebrating our planet's natural wonders and demonstrating unwavering commitment to environmental conservation through the arts. An ode to Climate Week, the event serves as both an inspirational gathering and a fundraiser dedicated to the preservation and restoration of the Amazon rainforest in partnership with the Boa Foundation
The evening will feature a diverse lineup of artistic performances with interactive and educational segments that resonate with the season’s theme of nature's cycles and the urgent need to protect our planet.
Attendees can expect an array of enriching experiences, including:
DANCE: Becoming by Alexandre Barranco: A solo act inspired by the metamorphosis of a caterpillar into a butterfly. Alexandre Barranco's performance captures the essence of nature's cycles: the processes, the transformations, and the celebration of freedom.
LIVE MUSIC: Denise Reiss: Enjoy a musical performance by Denise Reiss as the sun sets, creating a harmonious ambiance that connects us with the rhythms of the Earth.
SITE SPECIFIC PERFORMANCE: Artists Ezra Campelli and Jeremy Clemente have collaborated to craft a captivating site-specific performance, intricately intertwined with their installation, Westerlies. This unique installation has organically evolved alongside the shifting seasons and the ever-changing patterns of the wind over the summer months, creating a contemplative space where one can deeply reflect on the profound significance of our interconnected existence within the intricate web of life.
PERFORMANCE: Bottlecap by Fantasy Grandma: Step into the whimsical realm of Fantasy Grandma, where laughter and moments of reflection await. (Bottlecap was written specifically for NOoSPHERE Arts)
POETRY: Reading by Honeychild Coleman: Let the words of the acclaimed poet and musician transport you into the heart of nature, evoking the beauty and fragility of our planet. Honeychildwill be reading selections from upcoming novel “Black Girl: Blue Hair".
SOUND HEALING: Inner Sanctuary Activation with Boshko Boskovic: Experience your inner sanctuary on a rooftop garden through a sound healing session with Boshko Boskovic of Let’s Heal NYC. Join us to commune with each other as we open ourselves to the vibrations of the human voice surrendering in relaxation, and reconnecting to the earth beneath us and the sky above us.
WISE WORDS: Fritjof Capra & Benki Piyako: Witness recordings from systems theorist and deep ecologist Fritjof Capra & environmental activist and spiritual leader Benki Piyako as they share their wisdom and visions for a sustainable future, the importance of planting trees in the Amazon forest.
