The Hive

June 21 at 6:00 PM | June 22 at 2:00 PM

Green Spaces, Denver (RiNo), CO

Step into the mesmerizing world of The Hive, an interactive speakeasy that takes audiences through the extraordinary life cycle of a worker honeybee. This multi-sensory performance blends dance, music, visual art, and storytelling to reveal the hidden rhythms of nature’s most essential pollinators.

Guided by the talented artists of Alpine Artist Collective, audiences will embody the perspective of a worker bee—building the hive, tending to the queen, foraging for pollen, and making honey. With each stage of the journey, attendees will engage with tactile installations, shifting environments, and dynamic choreography; witnessing the collective intelligence and resilience that drive the colony’s survival, and our own. The Hive offers a profound meditation on labor, purpose, social structure, and the surprising similarities between our two species.

The Bristlecone Project

Wolverine Farm Publick House

October 2022

A collaborative arts event featuring dance, photography, music, and poetry.

The Bristlecone Project was started in June of 2020, in the early days of the Coronavirus Pandemic. We wanted to explore how humans and bristlecones, two of nature’s most adaptable species, found resilience in times of catastrophe. Especially considering that our greatest crisis, climate change, has started to bear its teeth. As artists, who were greatly impacted by the pandemic, The Bristlecone Project helped us find a way to move forward, without hiding the scars, losses, and mutations we’ve acquired in the process.
