The Mnemosyne Arts Collective presents: Child Gods, a program of music, dance and storytelling Sat Feb 22, 7pm, Wesleyan Memorial Chapel

Join us for an evening of music, dance, and storytelling, as we tell tales of gods as children from around the world, from classical mythology to the Ramayana and the Gnostic gospels. This unique program pairs ancient tales of Hermes, Krishna, Hanuman and Christ with music and choreography, and explores the divine as children, full of mischief, powerful love, impulsive anger and astonishing wisdom – in an evening both silly and soul-warming.

Program includes:

-- -the complete Vivaldi Gloria (with chorus and orchestra)

---selections from Haydn's Toy Symphony

--- choral music by Runestad and Sweet Honey & the Rock,

---dance and instrumental performances by Ekklesia Contemporary Ballet and Wesleyan South Indian Classical Artists.

Suitable for all ages, Admission is FREE.

Through practices of listening and “being with” we will deepen our connections to each other and the other-than-human world. We will investigate how movement and somatic awareness help us to do that and how knowledge can be dynamic rather than static.

In the second half of the workshop, Jill will share some of her process of working on the Re-Seeding project. Re-Seeding began with her questions about her relationship to land as a non-Indigenous person born on Munsee Lunaape homeland in what is now called Brooklyn, New York, and has grown into a series of rituals for land acknowledgement and healing. What would it be to re-seed ourselves on land in ways that work toward collective wellbeing?
