WE ARE NATURE: The microcosmic dance (2025)
According to quantum theory, stillness doesn’t exist. A particle can never be at complete rest. And vacuum is by no means empty space but contains fleeting particles that continuously pop in and out of existence. Our 2025 outdoor season programming will offer a reflection on the fast, indiscernible dynamics that underpin the microscopic world that makes up every component of nature. This year’s WE ARE NATURE theme is part of the global celebrations of the UN’s International Year of Science and Technology marking the centenary of quantum physics. Through art, music, dance and other performances, our featured talent will interpret some of the scientific, philosophical, and human aspects related to the quantum nature of the world. Uncertainty, entanglement, and delocalization are keywords of quantum jargon but also qualities of our lives. The season will explore creative intersections of quantum and human nature in a unique blend of art and science, allowing the public to reflect on the beauty and mystery of our universe, and harnessing the contemplation of microscopic frenzy to deliver inner peace.
This year the WE ARE NATURE Season included the Kingsland Wildflower Residency Award and our first Choreographer in Residency.
