[Communications] Experience nature's magic - see WILD FLOWERS!

[Northwestern University | Wirtz Center for the Performing Arts]

Free preview event - bring a group!   Flowers dance, the skies move, the prairie speaks - and there, amidst growth, we find space to heal. In this imaginative new work, music, dance and brilliant design take you on exploration of the rejuvenating power of nature. Come experience the prairie - this is truly How to Know the Wild Flowers! Group rates available!   April 19 - 28 Co-created by Julie Marie Myatt and Jessica Thebus with members of the Northwestern community A theatrical ritual of communal healing, this multi-disciplinary piece is inspired by the first field guide for flowers in America called How to Know the Wild Flowers by Mrs. William Starr Dana (Frances Theodora Parsons.) It was published in 1893, three years after the Russian flu pandemic of 1890 took the life of Frances’ husband. Frances' long walks in the woods cataloging wildflowers allowed her to heal her grief. Surrounding Frances' story is the modern-day story of four young adults, and their own personal journeys through the timeless beauty of the prairie toward peace and rejuvenation. Drawing from Frances' life story, the rich poetic language of her guidebook, and contemporary stories and songs of nature, this is a buoyant celebration of the beauty surrounding and sustaining us as we journey toward healing.
