Wild and Wonderful Dance and Music with Guest Artists Bill Coleman & Benj Rowland
You are invited to a meandering evening of live music and dance featuring the experimental collaboration of two distinct artists Bill Coleman & Benj Rowland and introducing Liv Tulip.
Together, these artists offer a nostalgic journey through rich sonic textures and embodied movement—traversing physical and internal landscapes while questioning without seeking definitive answers. Wild and Wonderful Dance and Music invites the audience into a shared space of reflection, curiosity, and drift.
Following the performance, stick around for a meet & greet with guest artists Bill Coleman, Benj Rowland, & Liv Tulip as well as NDH Co-Artists Directors Robin Poitras and Edward Poitras.
