This innovative collaboration between dance, film, and visual art blurs boundaries to reflect the dynamic interplay between body and image. With evocative lighting, atmospheric stage design, and improvisation at its core, the piece invites deep contemplation and emotion.

You may not be able to tell exactly what it is…something is emerging.
there we are. There. is a premier duet created by Alison Kause and Alida Kendell. Absurdity and intimacy are explored as the two inhabit their world in ways that are recognizable yet slightly off kilter. They talk straight and sit crooked. They are in between, unraveling, navigating and arriving.

Forever Is Now

Grab your adventure buddies and join us at the cSPACE studio for a screening of Forever Is Now.
Tickets $20 in advance, $25 day of show.
The name “Forever Is Now” comes from the writings of poet Lyman Hafen. If the history of the earth were to be written into a 1000-page book, our time here would barely take up a single letter. And yet, the significance of what we do now will be felt long into forever.
This film follows ten people who are Zion National Park’s keepers and caretakers. At a time of increasing tension between recreation and environmental impact, the film follows a path to the future through character stories that are personal, complex, and compelling. Shot in all four seasons across fourteen successive months, the film captures Zion like it’s never been seen before—instilling a sense of awe and ownership for public lands today, tomorrow, and forever.

Introduction to Wood Burning (Pyrography) for Beginners
Learn something new and have fun during this hands on workshop. This small class is perfect for those who are new to wood burning and want to explore the art of pyrography. This is also a good opportunity to try the Razer Tip Woodburning tool before you buy one. You will learn step by step how to create a wood burned work of art. Little art experience is necessary just some time and patience. There is something very soothing and relaxing about burning patterns into wood. You will learn how to use the wood-burner safely. We will go over the difference between the wood burning tools that are available. You will learn how to transfer your drawing onto the wood, which wood works best, and how to add a bit of colour. Wood is supplied and the tool that we use is the Razer Tip woodburning system. Feel free to bring your own reference material to trace or draw from or use templates provided. Some people freehand and just go for it and some people use reference material and trace their design. You can also do a bit of both:) Magically everyone does something totally different and unique to them! It’s a fun thing to do for a date night or a new activity with friends or family. There are only 4 people maximum in a class, ages 12 and up. If you would like to book an evening with your younger kids check out my website:)
