Urban Pastoral, is a dance made in the present tense, partnering with the great outdoors! Urban Pastoral is a spontaneous outdoor dance by Chris Ferris & Dancers with 10 dancers, 10 sculptural lights by Warren Kloner, and live music. These hand held lights illuminate, swing, slash, and dot the landscape after sunset. As the bodies, lights, and sound bounce off the environment art comes to life in an unpredictable sensual experience.
