About GREAT FALLS CREATIVE MOVEMENT:

Great Falls Creative Movement focuses on building social, emotional, spiritual and physical wellness through dance.

Founded in 2009 by dance educator Anna Hendricks, we offer unique, holistic and community-based dance programming at our studio, our outdoor/farm location and in partnership with schools and community groups in and around Franklin County, MA.

Our curriculum weaves together improvisation, social dance, mindfulness, somatic movement and concert dance practices. Our goal is to support each participants’ positive relationship with their own mind/body/spirit, with each other and with the wider world.

Exciting News for A Happening IV: Leviathan

Cloudgaze and Eggtooth Productions are thrilled to announce that we have received a generous grant from the Markham-Nathan Fund for Social Justice to support our 2024 Immersive Arts Festival, “A Happening IV: Leviathan.”

This festival will transform the Shea Theater into an exploration of theme, hosting installations, music, theatrical performances, and movement pieces, featuring the collective contributions of over 30 local artists. Audiences will experience otherworldly environments and narratives inspired by folklore, fairy tales, horror motifs, American literature, and the mythos of the Old Testament, all of which delve into the central question guiding the festival: "What does it mean to encounter something greater than yourself and to be consumed by it?" Through this theme, we explore how a community reemerges and imagines itself after destruction and transformation.

With the support of the Markham-Nathan Fund, we are excited to create an event that complicates perspectives and fosters meaningful dialogue. We are grateful for this partnership and for the work of the Markham-Nathan Fund for Social Justice.

Thanks to the Mass Cultural Council for their vital support this year.We'd also like to thank the Community Foundation of Western Massachusetts for their support in the form of a Flexible Funding grant. We couldn't do this work without you!
