Created by New England dance artist, Ellen Smith Ahern, and collaborators from around the country, Kate Elias (WA), Pete Dybdahl (GA), Jacob Elias (NY) and Josina Guess (GA), Vulture Sister Song explores human and more-than-human relationships through story, song, sculpture and dance. With live storytelling and poetry, folk songs and electric lullabies, a migrating herd of lanterns, wild movement and a healthy dose of humor, the performance brings together artists and community members to celebrate the possibilities of vibrant interdependence.
Touring nationally, Vulture Sister Song has folks imagining, questioning and singing along. Feedback from audiences 8 to 80 years old is joyful and curious:
“An amazing convergence of presence and sensory web making.”
“It was weird but a good kind of weird.”
“Holds beauty and darkness together like so many folk songs.”
All participants receive a guidebook to the show, featuring artwork and writing from contributors, as well as fun, thoughtful activities that carry themes explored in the performance out into the world beyond (Spanish translation and large print accommodations available). Vulture Sister Song runs just under 1 hour and is recommended for audiences 5 years+.
