It is Kinesis Project dance theatre's most recent large-scale collaboration with Opera on Tap investigating our human capacity for joy, grief and how that relates to the natural processes of the earth's cracking.

To take the more direct forest path, enter the trail head across from the parking lot, follow it to the right, and then at the large tree in a circle of paths, follow the path to the right again. To take the Overlook Path, follow the path to the left. At Gravel Pit Road, make a left.
We will have signs and both Park's staff members and show day volunteers to guide you toward parking options or hiking trails. ** We will NOT provide a guide for the hiking trail.
There are portapotties at the Trailhead parking lot. If you are coming from the Ferry, we suggest padding your time so you can stop into Vashon Center for the Arts, enjoy the art in the galleries, and use the restroom. VCA is open from 12-5pm.
