As a part of The Church’s hallmark artists residency program, we were pleased to welcome interdisciplinary artist Margaret Garrett. Garrett’s residency at The Church focused on creating four choreographed ritual dances and artworks relating to the dances. This project required the participation of everyday people, not necessarily trained dancers. On her behalf, we are called out for community volunteers who were excited by the notion of becoming a dancer for the day. Over the course of two weekends, participants were welcomed to The Church by the artist and embarked on learning choreographed dances inspired by the four elements: earth, water, fire, and air. The dances were simple and easy to learn; the experience was enjoyed immensely by all participants.
