Jill Frere of Fearless Motion

Moving Ground is Jill Frere’s 13-artist dance installation, transforming Olde Mechanicsville Park into a “living sculpture garden.”

On May 14, 2022 Olde Mechanicsville Park will be transformed into a living sculpture garden. Moving Ground is a 3-hour performance installation designed to encourage community members to experience embodied freedom. Beautiful and surreal costumed dancers and musicians respond to Koans on skillfully created signs by Ashely Addair. A Koan is a Zen saying that inspires awakening. The audience will be invited to walk through this multi sensory experience at their leisure and even try out this form of expression themselves. Through this unusual blend of Koans, Dance, Music and Visual Art we hope to inspire people to discover their own embodied presence and inherent resilience, through a calm and wondrous encounter.
