&quot;Bark&quot; is an evening length dance performance by Scott Stafford, co-presented by the Kenwood Neighborhood Organization. Deeply somatic and strongly influenced by the ecology of trees, &quot;Bark&quot; is a dance document developed over two years - inspired by the Northwoods of Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Michigan. A song of seasonal change, endings, and alchemy - what transforms, what fades, and what follows.&nbsp; When: Space opens for seating at 6:30pm, performance at 7pmWhere: Kenwood Park - atop the hill at the center of the parkPerformance length is roughly one hour.Please bring a chair, blanket, and other items for comfortable viewing.&nbsp;Suggested donation sliding scale: $15 - 40 ---------- Scott Stafford is a dancer, choreographer, and teaching artist based in Minneapolis, MN. He believes expression is vital, and accessible to every individual. His choreographic inquiry lies in the space between feeling deeply and the expression which physicalizes the experience. This somatic approach informs emotion, embodiment, and movement execution - creating performance landscapes of individuals in pursuit of expression. &quot;Scott Stafford&#39;s choreography shone with sweeping, luminous flow and pristine technique.&quot; - Sheila Reagan, Star Tribune. His artistic efforts have been recognized by The Foundation for Contemporary Arts, The Minnesota State Arts Board, Springboard For The Arts, Minnesota Regional Arts Council, and the Jerome Foundation. His choreography has been presented by institutions including The Detroit Institute of Art, The Walker Art Center, Franconia Sculpture Garden, Land O&#39; Lakes Arts, The Southern Theater, The Red Eye Theater, The Cowles Center for Dance, Blue Water Theater, St. Olaf College, Park Square Theater, and The University of Minnesota. Scott was born in Windsor, Ontario and grew up in Metro Detroit. He finds artistic inspiration in nature, pop music, queer canon, and everything that flows. <a fr-original-style="" href="https://www.scottestafford.com/" id="isPasted" rel="noopener noreferrer" style="text-decoration-color: currentcolor; user-select: auto; box-sizing: inherit;" target="_blank">https://www.scottestafford.com/</a>
