a group of four individuals stand together with arms lifted overhead making a clapping gesture with their hands. They are outside in the grass, surrounded by trees and other greenery. Their outfits are earth tones - browns, greens, and shades of grey.

Clapping for Nature

Caitlin Green

How does our acknowledgment of nature’s value compare to our participation in sustaining it?

A white female dancer moves in a bright green pasture, framed by a vibrant blue sky. Some trees and housing are behind her in the distance. Around her, an abstract circle frames her as she leans over her shoulder, with arms floating out to the side. Within this frame she appears fragments, with fingers and palms floating detached from her body.

Two dancers are intertwined, reaching upwards with their arm while in a lunge. Behind them, two other duets of dancers are intertwined making similar reaching shapes. The lighting is dim and warm, and the dancers wear multicolored pedestrian clothing. They are soft, with open palms and gently bent arms.
