Motus Music to Restore the Heart: Special Holiday Candlelight Concert In-Person
Join violinist Anthony Salvo and Motus Theater’s founding executive artistic director Kirsten Wilson for an opportunity to rest deeply in ourselves in a field of shared blessing. Entering into the holidays and a month after a tumultuous election, we are each holding diverse experiences of personal and political vulnerability, and negotiating what it is to be a human being at this time. Motus offers our community a candlelight event to help us rest in our hearts within a tranquil experience of melodious beauty. It is a sweet and tender holiday concert. Perfect for relaxation, reflection, and aligning your spirit with your truest intentions.
Before the music, from 3pm-3:30pm, Motus offers tea and cookies. And, if you want to gather for a special storytelling event, join Motus Playback Theater even earlier, from 1pm-3pm, to share your biggest questions, quirky reflections or stories. Then, Colorado’s most diverse Playback improv theater troupe, Motus Playback Theater, will reenact our stories on the spot. Whether your reflection is joyful, fearful or fantastic Motus Playback will play your experience back to you with a musical underscore from Adolfo Romero.
This event is organized by a community partner and hosted by the Boulder Public Library.
