At one time, the numbers of the Sumatran Rhinoceros were in the thousands. The count has now dwindled to under a hundred. Our conservation efforts are being met with criticism, as there are ethical concerns, and we would like an opportunity to answer them. Please attend our conference as we explore the aspects of these issues and explain why this species is so vital. Presented in partnership with Hugo West Theatricals.

CFF17: RUMI’S FIELD

Part of the Cincinnati Fringe Festival ’17
OTR Community Church
Over-the-Rhine

RUMI’S FIELD is a dance-theater work that reaffirms our intimate connection the elements – earth, water, wind, fire, and space. Using a rich Indian classical and semi-classical soundscape as the backdrop, this work speaks of nature in close and intimate terms. Whoever has not heard of passion described in terms of fire? Don’t we all crave both closeness as well as ‘space’ in our relationships? Isn’t it true that we sometimes desire to feel more ‘grounded’?
