Storytelling installations, music and dance
celebrating trees throughout the City of San Francisco
Urban trees are at once natural and stylized representatives of the wilderness. They are domesticated and cultivated to give safe, measured connections to the wild- serving as ambassadors of the tangled forest. Each tree holds its own secret. From its biotic origins to its adaptation to urban settings, the geometry of a tree's growth is a continuing work in progress --both as a work of self creation and a spontaneous "work of art. " Trees are related to myths and stories in ways that have deep cultural connections. Their simple principles of growth carry secrets of ancient untold universes. .
