Performance: The Wild Bloom: Spring Performance Series—Night 2
The Wild Bloom is an immersive, three-night event series that transforms Union Hall’s gallery into a dynamic stage for interdisciplinary, boundary-pushing work.
On any given night you might discover a performance blending movement with poetry, an interactive improv group, or an unexpected, comedic guided meditation. By inviting audiences into participatory, socially engaged performances, The Wild Bloom deepens connection to the arts in a space designed for creative experimentation and cultural dialogue.

Night 2 Lineup—May 23
The Natural World—A Multi-disciplinary Art Sharing: Hosted by the Japanese Arts Network (JA-NE) and curated by Courtney Ozaki-Durgin, The Natural World invites artists from multiple backgrounds to reflect on May’s micro-seasons as indicated by the ancient Japanese ‘Kurashi no Kiyomi’ calendar which divides the year into twenty-four periods with seventy-two distinct seasons. Local friends of JA-NE will prepare individual responses to the natural world and the calendar’s assigned micro-seasons (frogs begin to sing, worms emerge from earth, bamboo shoots sprout) as we enter the Rikka (Beginning of Summer) period. The evening will include music (taiko, banjo, and more), video, dance, poetry, and “real live worms.” This entertaining evening will celebrate creativity, discovery, and an appreciation for nature and the Earth’s gifts.
Contributing artists include: Courtney and Matthew Ozaki-Durgin, Drew Austin, James Brunt, Gwendolyn Gussman, and Elizabeth Kirchmeier.
