Buoyant Sea
Written, directed and co-produced by Anya Martin as the Founding Artistic Director of Hiawatha Project. Music and lyrics by Monica Stephenson
In “Buoyant Sea” young children sing and splash together along with their grown-ups in a “water-table-play” about the joy of togetherness. Come along with the ever-exuberant character of MC, and the timid, Rumi-quoting character of CC, as they row together through misty rivers and explore the icy arctic with story, song, and participatory play. Together this pair of best friends discover that when the world changes around us, like water, we can adapt, flow, and float up again.
“When you do things from your soul, you feel a river moving in you, a joy.”
– RUMI
