Dominic Moore-Dunson: Black by Nature

Experience a one-of-a-kind dance-theatre performance set along the scenic 1.2-mile Oxbow Trail. This world premiere, created by DANCECleveland, weaves together movement and live music as choreographer Dominic Moore-Dunson explores themes of healing, belonging, and identity in nature. The performance features an original jazz-influenced score performed live by musicians playing guitar, saxophone, trumpet, upright bass, and hand percussion, creating an intimate and reflective atmosphere as you walk through the outdoor setting. This is a wonderful opportunity for families and individuals of all ages to engage with art in a natural setting. The experience invites audiences to reflect on their own connections to the outdoors and community. Registration is required to attend and opens on August 1st.
