As dawn breaks over the reed beds of the Ballona Wetlands, clusters of soaring, singing birds are joined by musicians and dancers in a site–specific performance that celebrates this 26-acre historic landscape and habitat. With choreography by Kristen Smiarowski and music by Robert Een, along with a large cast of dancers, instrumentalists and vocalists, Groundswell invites audience members to experience an active meditation on this urban sanctuary.www.festivalofsacredmusic.org
