Dance of the Mushrooms
Join us for the Dance of the Mushrooms on Sunday, September 15th at 2pm beginning at Arts Inn, 923 Main Street, Fleischmanns, NY.
Dance of the Mushrooms is an interactive dance and mushroom tour through the woods with choreographers Claire Porter & Heidi Stonier, musician Lubomir Smilenov, and the “fun guy:” mycologist John Michelotti.
All attendees will meet at Arts Inn in Fleischmanns and will caravan to a nearby location to explore the woods. Afterwards we will return to Arts Inn for mushroom tea and conversation with the artists.
Wear comfortable clothing and shoes, be prepared to move, gather and see!
Event Description:
Mushrooms eat death. They are the consummate recyclers. When we walk in the woods they are everywhere, and if you look, you can find them hiding in their vast webs of mycelia above and below the ground. After the rain, they come out rich and fruitful. Some scientists surmise that mushrooms arrived on Earth in meteors and have been around since the beginning of time.
Come join our mushroom celebration! We’ll meet at the Arts Inn, in Fleischmanns, and then caravan to a very special spot on Belleayre Mountain. There, we will dance, listen and learn about mushrooms. Then we will return to Arts Inn to discuss our discoveries and drink mushroom tea.
Dance of the Mushrooms is third in the Walk, Gawk & Talk: Deep Seeing in the Catskills Series, presented by the Arts Inn Collective. The entire series will be videoed by Alan Powell and will be presented as a documentary as the final presentation. Thank you to The Olive B. and Lindsey A. O’Connor Foundation and The Pasternak Family Foundation for support for this project.
Walk, Gawk & Talk: Deep Seeing in the Catskills is an experiential community art series and video documentary connecting people to art and each other through nature. Deep seeing brings artists, nature, and the public together to allow us to experience the world from other perspectives. It addresses the need to go beyond our differences and the thinking that divides us and to view nature and each other as a source of inspiration. The entire series is documented by videographer Alan Powell, including initial discussions amongst the artists, interviews, footage of the walks and audience participation. A final document archives the process of Deep Seeing in the Catskills and becomes the final presentation of the series.
