The dance artists, local and national, Julie Castillo, (Julie Blackfeather, Auric Medicine, Willits), Alex Miller and Lucy Wilson (BLiPSWiTCH, Austin, Texas), Tony Valencia (DanzArts, San Diego) and Eryn Schon-Brunner (California) draw on their art form to explore the concerns that arise from the ashes after the fires, creating their own personal phoenixes.

MCRDC Artist director Eryn Schon-Brunner joins forces with MC Choir Director Janice Hawthorne Timm to bring choral music and dance together in a choreographic debut, A Call to Gather. The thirty-minute work will be set to Missa Druidica, created by local composer Joseph Nemeth, and will be sung by the MC Concert Choir. A Call to Gather is a vocal and movement offering to the land and to the spirits of the past and the future, a celebration of humanity’s potential to unite with respect and thoughtfulness.
