We had the honor of documenting Dance Monks' NOMAD: The Blue Road, a site specific performance ritual journey that followed the path of Strawberry Creek in Berkeley, CA, which is now mostly underground. With renowned local and international artists, it was a beautiful response to California's current drought and water crisis as they invited the audience to walk in remembrance of our vital and absolutely necessary relationship to water - something we often forget.
Take a look into this journey!
