Ordinary Pilgrimage: A Performance Walk

When We Remember

Delight in bodies, limestone, satin, green sun, resonances, and language.

Join us for a unique improvised performance unfolding in the spaces we move by every day. You’ll encounter dance, music and poetry—an invitation into new relationships with downtown’s familiar places.

What becomes possible when we come together in creative space?
What can be said that usually goes unsaid?
What does it mean to dwell in deeper dialogue—with one another, and with what is already here?

This meandering performance walk is about being with each other—an unfolding of presence where something uncommon may emerge. How do we gather to see differently, to be differently together in these uncommon times?

Come be inspired. Be surprised. Take some time. Meet someone new.

Meet under the large tree on the Northwest Lawn of the Courthouse, across from Social Cantina.
We’ll begin there and slowly travel two blocks, with performance surprises in local businesses, ending at the Monroe County History Center.

Duration: 1.5 hours
Tasty cool treats will be provided during and after.
Optional interactive prompts offered. Linger, play, and explore after the performance.
