WE ARE NATURE 2024 | A Vibrant Tapestry

Nature flows as one with time. It is an intricate web of relations coming together. No one celebrates this better than NOoSPHERE Arts with their WE ARE NATURE (WAN) annual performance series held at Broadway Stages’ Kingsland Wildflowers Green Roof and Community Engagement Center in Greenpoint, Brooklyn.

This year's WAN series theme is "A Vibrant Tapestry." NOoSPHERE Arts reminds us that we are all part of a web, of which no part is more fundamental. Taken together, we are all a beautiful work of art. In a time fraught with polarities, it is important to remember that a multitude of colors and shapes are needed to make up the rich, resplendent, and resilient tapestry that is life.

NOoSPHERE Arts' longtime mentor and collaborator, the leading systems thinker Fritjof Capra, is again collaborating on the series. His guidance can be seen in this year's theme. He has postured that ecological awareness, at the deepest level, is the intuitive awareness of the oneness of all life. He suggests that spirituality could be defined as the mode of consciousness in which we feel connected to the cosmos as a whole.

This summer, you can explore and expand on his wisdom with four curated experiences. On June 22, there will be a celebration of the Solstice. With doors opening at 6:45 p.m., the evening will feature author Daisy Bugarin in its opening ceremony. And the Artichoke Dance Company will decorate the evening with the joy of movement. Crowd favorite Fantasy Grandma will be on hand to entertain the guests, and Assylay Zhamkenova will provide the music for the evening. 

In addition, don’t miss the unveiling of Resonant Nature (a sculptural installation devised for the Kingsland Wildflowers Green Roof) by the 2024 season's Broadway Stages’ Arts Residency Award @ Kingsland Wildflower winner Seema Lisa Pandya. Resonant Nature features vertical sculptures that echo nature's vibration patterns, integrating into the rooftop ecosystem with bird perches and insect shelters, designed using the Golden Ratio and Fibonacci Sequence, and made from sustainable Richlite material.

The series continues on July 27 with the annual Kingsland Wildflowers Festival at Broadway Stages located at 520 Kingsland Avenue in Greenpoint, and on September 21 as part of Climate Week. Later in the season, WAN will participate in Open House New York on October 19 and close things out on October 26.

Broadway Stages always looks forward to the great things that NOoSPHERE Arts brings, and none more than the annual WE ARE NATURE series. This year is sure to engage and inspire. Please join us!
