Migrations: Walking Together

Playhouse Arts presents the fourth annual Migrations: Walking Together, on Saturday, September 28. Migrations is an original, multi-disciplinary, multicultural project that offers dance, movement, storytelling, puppetry, music, poetry, and much more.

The structure of this event is a procession that takes place on Wiyot land. We will start at Valley West Park, Hallen Drive, at 9:00 a.m., and end at the Arcata Community Forest around 2:30 p.m. with a community potluck.

The procession stops at several locations along the route where diverse cultural groups, organizations, and artists, including Centro Del Pueblo, Yurok Tribal elder, Humboldt Taiko, Humboldt Lao Dancers, Humboldt Capoeira, the Blue Lake Choir, Ra, and Ponies of Harmony, will share their work, play, artistry, and culture. Participants can plan to walk the whole route (about 5 miles) or just drop in for a performance or two hosted by these local organizations and artists.

In a procession, solidarity amongst participants grows, as walking together unites us in a shared journey. Through the arts we are able to listen to ideas more easily, as we grow a deeper understanding of our condition. Migrations will use the research and community outreach that Playhouse Arts continues to develop to broaden and deepen our relationships.
