Inspired by Ananya Dance Theatre’s summer of projects centered on the notion of public love\, we will carry stories of water into this practice together. \nThe first session begins with a movement meditation led by Ananya Chatterjea\, then moves into collage-making. Led by Jay Claire\, we will assemble a communal collaged River Tapestry as we consider the ripple effects of our own stories and actions of love for water. \nRegistration (below) is preferred but not required. No dance or musical experience is needed! All ages are welcome! Light snacks provided. All activities are designed to meet people where they are. Attending both workshops is encouraged but not required. \nArt + Water Workshops are organized by CRWD Artist-in-Residence Sarah Peters and CRWD Community Engagement Coordinator Maricella Xiong. \nEveryone is welcome at CRWD. We are committed to creating a safe environment for all visitors. If there are any safety updates\, we will post them here and notify all registered participants. Questions? Please contact us; we’re happy to help! \nAnanya Dance Theatre is an ensemble company of transnational feminist professional dance artists who create and perform social justice choreography. \nAnanya Chatterjea’s (she/her) work as a choreographer\, dancer\, and thinker brings together Contemporary Dance\, social justice choreography\, and a commitment to healing justice.

As an outdoor educator\, Jay’s focus is cultivating curiosity\, gratitude\, and right relationship with our beyond-human relatives. \n\n\n \n \n Art + Water Workshop: July 23\, 2026\n \n \n PhoneThis field is for validation purposes and should be left unchanged.Name(Required)\n \n \n \n First\n \n \n \n \n Last\n \n \n Email(Required)This will only be used for communication about the event. \n \n \n Enter Email\n \n \n \n Confirm Email\n \n \n Will this be your first time visiting Capitol Region Watershed’s building?(Required)\n \n \n Yes\n \n \n \n No\n \n \n \n Don't know\n Newsletter Subscription(Required)You can agree to have your email address added to CRWD's general newsletter subscription.

Inspired by Ananya Dance Theatre’s summer of projects centered on the notion of public love\, we will carry stories of water into this practice together. \nIn this second session\, we will share stories about occupation and liberation and ways that water teaches us how to flow. Celebrated singer/songwriter Mankwe Ndosi will teach musical phrases from the song she composed for Ananya Dance Theatre’s fall show: PREM | Love: An Occupation\, and Ananya Chatterjea will share of simple gestures of choreography. \nThis gathering culminates in an outdoor procession around the gardens of CRWD\, with the River Tapestry created in the previous workshop. Through public singing\, gestures\, and offerings\, we will express a transformative public love for water and all of life. \nRegistration (below) is preferred but not required.
