“The Source” is a gathering of intercultural experiences of multi-disciplinary creativity, wellness, and compassion – conjured by and for our diverse communities. In partnership with Dance Mission Theater in September 2023, this 4-day cultural-spiritual nourishing exchange evokes Reciprocity and Relationship; Imagination, and Dreaming. Dancing Earth’s cooperative artist leaders intend to collectively restore, nourish, and embrace our community to “Come As You Are”, “Create As You Are”, “Experience As You Are”, and finally “Reflect As You Are”– through an immersive community experience of ritual, performance, workshops, cultural shares, and ancestral connectivity through multiple exchanges.
Co-curated through the channels and community of Tala Mai Moana (TMM) the stories from the oceans of the South Pacific as cultural visioning partner – – this gathering interweaves DE’s 19+ years in the community as refreshed with vision from TMM’s founding legacy. This gathering celebrates Intergenerational Cultural Creative Leaders, while creating space that invites all to participate in honoring the stories from the Past while creating new pathways of RE-Sourcing into the future.
