We were thrilled to be part of this international event on June 15th 2019, during which communities around the world “dance for safe water everywhere.” As host of the Seattle Global Water Dances 2019, KSD presented our recent premiere Sea Change Within Us. Joining the KSD GWD event were dancers from Kaleidoscope and Mosaic Dance Company, Splinter Dance, UW Dance and professionals from the Seattle dance community, who took part in a movement choir through Lake Union Park.

Global Water Dances performances at each site highlight a local water issue and take place near a related body of water. Choreographers, dance groups, organizations, water activists and members of the community gather to take action, to solve their immediate water problems. This worldwide event, linked throughout the day via broadcast and social media, challenges countless observers, locally and online, to deepen their understanding about the importance of water in communities the world over.

For KSD it is also about connecting our water bodies to the greater bodies of water throughout the earth.
