What happens when we disconnect from the natural world?
ROOTS explores the symbiotic relationship between the seen and unseen networks of the forest and human beings.
This all-ability piece of dance theatre follows two sisters
seeking respite from a tumultuous world.
They venture into the forest where they learn how
to connect to the natural world from the
diverse flora and fauna they meet along the way.

To Register or Learn More:
"The Chair Is Not Me," written by "JJ," James Janis is a collection of twenty-one poems about life experiences and challenges as a diversely abled individual.
JJ grew up between the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation and Rapid City, South Dakota. Born with cerebral palsy, complicated with several other conditions, he was only expected to live 12 hours, but 60 years later he is still here! Writing is one of the things that sets JJ free from his disabilities and allows him to escape.
Eleven of his poems are accompanied by
mixed media illustrations by ten artists of
diverse abilities and cultures.
The collection seeks to advocate for individuals with diverse abilities through the exploration of disabilities and the culture surrounding disabilities, the human condition, life on Pine Ridge, and communication.
