Choreo & Kickball is a socially specific, site-informed, interactive dance performance led by Park Social artist Zaquia Mahler Salinas working with the dance-based organization DISCO RIOT. This unique way of experiencing dance encourages community, engagement with outdoor spaces, and is an opportunity to witness movement while moving oneself. This innovative intersection of performance and participation creates an inclusive and contemporary approach to dance. Choreo & Kickball is a performance plus an activity. The activations will occur in local athletic fields, allowing audience participants to engage in activity between short dance performances by local artists. On the fields, audience participants will explore sports-related activities while watching dances crafted around the theme of the park space, community, and sports. In conjunction with the performances by local movement artists, trained athletic coaches will facilitate the sports activities. A live DJ will provide additional ambiance and music engagement for the events; this collaboration of live performance, music, and team-based physical activity emphasizes the place of art, embodiment, and collaboration at the forefront of creative community building.

RSVP for events encouraged, but not required.
