A truly unique experience, this outdoor performance, created by choreographer Kristen Smiarowski in collaboration with composer Robert Een, draws attention through dance and music to the unique geography and habitat of the freshwater marsh, a 26-acre site in the Ballona Wetlands, located just west of LMU.
