Performance: Launching with a “Falling Water” performance, danced as a single drop of water, as rain, as a storm, with “Falling Water” that paints a stream. Participation Art: An open invitation for everyone to join in and continue creating a shared project to paint a stream, drop by drop in falling water. We are all like water returning to the ocean. The same water circulates forever: saliva, an ice crystal, fracking oil, washing mud, an olive leaf, a raptor’s blood, shape-shifting Earth’s salt oceans, and sweet tea.
