Upstream: A Choreographed Dance Performed in Water at Morris Arboretum	Print Issue
,

On Saturday, September 21 and Sunday, September 22 at 11 a.m. and 1 p.m., Morris Arboretum hosts Upstream: a choreographed duet dance staged in water. This stunning and powerful presentation focuses on the human interaction with nature on the barest level—water, rock, air, muscles and bone. The piece is intended to evoke a feeling of connection to nature while taking the traditional, sanitized dance performance and literally putting it into the river. Created by Jenny Sawyer, a well-respected member of the Philadelphia dance community as a choreographer, teacher and performer, this piece is one of many outdoor, site-specific dances she has originated. This event is free with admission. The Arboretum is open weekdays, 10 a.m.-4 p.m. and weekends, 10 a.m.-5 p.m. For more information, visit www.morrisarboretum.org
