Enchanted

It has been lovely experience dancing in the Native Flora Garden. It is one of the oldest sections of the Brooklyn Botanic Garden, however is not a "sexy" section, so many people pass it by. It is one of my favorite sections, as it is tucked away and when I'm walking in the trails I can forget that I'm in NYCity. 

Enchanted is inspired by the textures, patterns and beauty of plants and flowers native to New York, that are being threatened by invasive species and over development. It features music by Katie Down and performed live by Sam Bardfeld, Terry Dame, Matt Darriau, Katie Down. 

The four dancers represent different ecosystems native to New York:

Angel Chinn = Rolling Prairie Grass

Joshua Dunn = Majestic Deciduous Forests

Josh Palmer = Rustic Pine Barrens

Devin Oshiro = Mysterious Sphagnum Bogs
