Backhausdance: Garden Flow at Sherman Gardens 2023
A dance residency and performances in the garden in Spring 2023, commissioned by Sherman Library & Gardens. Backhausdance created a site-specific contemporary dance performance inspired by a month-long residency in Sherman Gardens. Guests were invited to watch and engage with the dancers as they rehearsed during the week and the residency, and participate in community classes. The Residency culminated in three ticketed promenade performances, as well as an educational performance where students from a nearby elementary school were bussed in.
