Occurring in roaming venues, Public Nature is a performance series run by Danielle Ross. It includes artists working across disciplines including dance, experimental performance, sound, and text. Meant to stay on the move in terms of place and people, Public Nature aims to bridge disciplinary communities, foster a scrappy, head first approach to performance, and allow for a risk-friendly space for artists to show improvised or in-process work.

* This beautiful space is fully covered but not heated, so dress warmly and feel free to bring hot drinks. Donations accepted at door ($5-15 recommended)
