About The Garden

The Garden is a radically inclusive, meditative performance exploring the life cycle with very young children and their families in public green spaces. In The Garden, families experience the life cycle through all five senses – through movement theater, poetic text in multiple languages, and interactive play – seated in the grass beneath the open sky in their local public park.

Watch milkweed from Jamaica Bay float on the wind; feel the rough bark of sticks from Central Park; smell long pine needles from Greenwood Cemetery; hear the crunch of leaves from St. Mary's Park and Snug Harbor; and while we play, share a peaceful moment of presence together, as a family.
