Garden Stages: Rituals And Performance in Nature
2025-05-20 18:00 - 19:30 (America/New_York) | Escape to Nature, Glenmore Avenue, Brooklyn, NY, 11207, United States
Join us at Escape to Nature as we continue exploring storytelling through movement, voice, and creativity! Just as a garden is shaped by the elements—wind, sun, and rain—actors use their voices and bodies to bring stories to life. This week, we’ll dive into “Pirates! The Penzance Musical,” experimenting with different ways to express emotions and tell a story, much like a garden expresses itself through colors, textures, and seasonal changes.
Using found materials like leaves, twigs, and stones, we’ll craft poetry that reflects the characters’ journeys and use nature to inspire movement and expression. Whether it’s the swaying of trees in the wind or the steady growth of a vine, we’ll find parallels between the natural world and the art of performance.
What we’ll do:
– Explore how movement and voice shape storytelling, just as nature shapes a garden.
– Use natural materials to create poetry and inspire character choices.
– Reimagine scenes from “Pirates!” Through the lens of nature’s rhythms and transformations.
No theater experience is needed—curiosity, creativity, and a love for the natural world!

NYC Urban Forest Plan Brooklyn Community Kick-off
New York City is developing its first Urban Forest Plan and we want your ideas, experiences, and recommendations to inform the plan. In addition to reducing extreme heat, trees manage stormwater, beautify our streets, and reduce air pollution. The Urban Forest Plan will create a vision not only for the care, management, and equitable expansion of the urban forest—which includes all the trees on public and private land in New York City—but also for the ways communities can be involved in the future of the urban forest. That’s why your input is so valuable.
Hosted by the Mayor’s Office of Climate & Environmental Justice, City Parks Foundation, Partnerships for Parks, NYC Parks, Natural Areas Conservancy, and The Nature Conservancy, these events are a chance for New Yorkers to:

Learn why the City is creating an Urban Forest Plan
Understand the Urban Forest Plan process and timeline
Share ideas, experiences, recommendations, and questions to inform the Urban Forest Plan’s development
Hear from local organizations about why a healthy tree canopy matters
Find ways to get involved in tree stewardship and advocacy

About our Fitness Partners
Mind over Mat
Mind over Mat sessions are built on a Pilates foundation and are designed as a full body workout with an emphasis on core strengthening, correct breathing, endurance building, increased flexibility and better alignment. Always with an obsessive focus on “proud posture”. Please bring a mat for class.
Helen Phelan Studio
Helen Phelan Studio’s signature bodyweight mat Pilates class is equal parts rigor and restoration. Participants will leave class feeling grounded, energized and with muscles feeling a little bit like a wet noodle. No equipment necessary (except a mat!) though participants are welcome to bring ankle or wrist weights for extra intensity!
Good Move
Good Move is a dance and mindful fitness studio for all movers. Good Move Signature Class gives the body and soul a boost with a seamless integration of HIIT intervals, dance cardio, core conditioning, expressive movement and stretch. No dance experience necessary!
Kula Yoga
Kula Yoga was founded over twenty years ago guided by the motto of sweaty, intelligent, ecstatic. Kula Flow classes offer a rigorous flow, careful alignment instructions and guided adjustments. Please bring your own mat.

OutBox Gym is a trans-owned boxing and fitness gym that centers the Queer community. All Levels Boxing is open to all levels of experience including beginners! This class will focus on the fundamentals of Boxing; stance, footwork, and punches. We will also incorporate cardio + strength and conditioning to build stamina. Come ready to learn and sweat!
