Parable of Belonging - Cycle 1
You are invited to immerse yourself in an interdisciplinary performance experience designed to meet the challenges of our times with vibrant creativity and adaptability. Parable of Belonging is based on the books Parable of the Sower by Octavia E. Butler and Emergent Strategy by adrienne maree brown. The Wandering Ensemble (Dandelion Dancetheater and CSU East Bay) is collaborating with artists, community members, academics, students, and un-categorizable beings from diverse disciplines to use visionary imagination, dance, music, theatre, and community ritual to explore what life in the Bay Area could be like in 30 years.
The Wandering Ensemble
The Wandering Ensemble sprouted in the wake of the COVID Pandemic to experiment with inclusive, creative, and sustainable ways of collaborating that responded directly to the massive changes rippling through our world. Directed by Eric Kupers, the ensemble is a fusion of Dandelion Dancetheater and the CSUEB Inclusive Interdisciplinary Ensemble. Committed to honoring the complexities of creating work by and for people of all abilities/disabilities, shapes, sizes, cultures, ancestries, body identities, neuro-types, art forms, modes of perception, and walks of life, they collaborate year-round, welcoming new members online or in person.
