Whole School Performance

Planting rhythms, harvest dances, eco hip-hop, and a colorful storyline illuminate an ageless integration of cultural artistic expression and stewardship of the earth. Fruit Tree Tour storytellers bring to life stories such as African farming villages working in rhythm with the drums, communities in Mexico organizing to protect their ancient corn seeds, and urban youth hearing the calling to find healthier, more meaningful relationships with the earth and the life upon her.

The performance brings students on a journey that inspires a deeper look at the state of the environment today and this generation’s role in solution-focused action. Fruit Tree Tour performers open up a dialogue with the students regarding being part of a movement of youth who are willing to take initiative towards healing the environment by taking direct steps in their local communities.  The students are encouraged to re-center the values that are most important including cooperation, communication, respect, health, community, positivity, and service of each other and the earth.
