JCWK Dance Lab presents “Regeneration,” a multi-media performance combining science, contemporary dance, new music, visual art, and storytelling. Inspired by Rodale Institute’s soil regeneration research, this STEAM (science, technology, engineering, arts, math) event also reflects on cultural regeneration as we move forward from the pandemic.

Regeneration is JCWK Dance Lab’s latest research campaign. It is an organic growth from our “We are StarDust” campaign of the past three years. Click the links for more info on the ways that “We are StarDust” manifested through Harvest Moon and Dark Adaptation.
