Boston Dance Theater: The PLANTS Project

The PLANTS Project is a site-responsive performance created by the artists of Boston Dance Theater in collaboration with visual artist Kim Radochia. Drawing inspiration from the quiet resilience of plant life and the writings of Indigenous botanist Robin Wall Kimmerer, the work invites audiences into a shared sensory experience of movement, sound, and sculptural installation. Dancers move through the space like tendrils of growth, attuning to one another, the land, and the invisible networks that sustain life. Rooted in slowness, sensitivity, and ecological imagination, Unfurling asks us to notice what is often overlooked and to sense our place within a living, interdependent world. Audience participation and open conversation are integral to the work, creating space for communal inquiry into how we relate, to one another, to place, and to the more-than-human world, through the evolving wisdom of plant life.
