Vulture Sister Song
Dance. Story. Music. Sculpture.
Vulture Sister Song is an interdisciplinary performance and set of workshops bringing artists and community members together to celebrate the possibilities of vibrant interdependence.
A herd of shapeshifting lanterns migrate through the space alongside dancing human bodies.
A soundscape of folk music, rock lullabies and storytelling lights up dimensions of humor, wonder and cruelty inherent in our relationships across species.

Second opinions…
…from grown-ups:
“Beautiful and thought-provoking, dream-expanding show.“
“I think about vultures so differently since your performance! I love them these days.”
“Music, poem, story, and dance found their place and made it whole.”
“The piece holds beauty and darkness together like so many folk songs.”
“Worshipful.”
…and from the younger set:
“When is the next show, and can kids go?!”
“It was surprising, and sometimes funny.”
“It was weird but a good kind of weird.”
“You were like jedis without light sabers.”
“I loved it!”
“You were kind of acting out the feelings of the story – it was a different kind of dance.”
