Liquid Spine: Open Rehearsal + Beach Cleanup

*This is one event in Liquid Spine’s week of eco-dance programming. The full schedule is listed below.*
Join us at Starfield (6PM – 7PM) for a unique opportunity to experience the creative process with Liquid Spine as they prepare and rehearse for an upcoming performance.
Following their dance rehearsal, you are invited to follow them to a local beach where we will engage in a beach cleanup (7:15PM – 8:15PM) led by Seaside Sustainability.
BYCATCH is a multidisciplinary community event that combines dance, an artists’ jam, and a beach cleanup to explore the ecology of our coastal waters. Created by choreographer, and Great Marsh Artist Katie Pustizzi and the dance collective Liquid Spine, the performance uses movement and reclaimed fishing gear to tell the stories of marine animals affected by pollution, ghost gear, and industrial bottom trawling. Drawing from field research, the work embodies the realities of whale entanglement and the devastating impacts of bycatch on ocean ecosystems. By connecting the vulnerability of marine life with human experiences of trauma and resilience, Bycatch invites audiences to reflect on our shared responsibility for the health of the natural world.
