*Our summer artists reveling in each other’s creativity.*

When a group of teachers and visiting artists gather with a group of students who have a spirit of readiness, magic happens. When our muse is the earth, inspiration bubbles all around us. With poetry, sound, percussion, puppetry, and movement we brought to life three original stories of the hills, mountains, and water.

*Rich Nethercott sings "The Invitation of the Hill" while Susan, Darlene, Elijah, and Tarish bring the story to life.*

During our three-week Summer Seminar we explored scenic art, theater games, sound, percussion, poetry and songwriting. The depth and breadth of creativity was awe-inspiring.

We laughed, sang, danced and shared our stories with empathy and appreciation. We have all certainly been nourished
