Cradle To Grave Arts Inc

Cradle to Grave Arts Inc encourages collaborative partnerships across disciplines to develop and present dance in all settings, engage audiences and communities through educational opportunities; grow and mentor the contemporary dance community.



Forest is a site-specific contemporary dance/theatre piece designed for two woodlands in east Central Vermont to be performed in 2026.&nbsp; It is being created by Hannah Dennison, partnered by the artists: Ellen Smith Ahern, Leslie Anderson, Julia Barstow, Judith Chalmer, Jude Domski, Graydon Hanson, Jessie Owens, Koa Ritz and Chloe Schafer. It will be performed by an ensemble of 20 vibrant dancers/musicians/narrators animating numerous places in the forest next to the quiet, seldom-traveled dirt road. The audience will move slowly along the woods road, watching each dynamic scene develop, learning about the forest along the way. Forest will celebrate the flora and fauna, the trees, the water, and air, and illuminate the relationship between art, people and nature.
