Connecting culture and climate awareness in creative and engaging ways, Rhythmix Rising Seas presents a free, outdoor series, May through August, transforming Alameda’s waterfront parks with live music, dance, and theater.

Enjoy the theatrics of the “Climate Detective from the Future”, directed by Jeff Raz, as he looks for climate clues to find out where things went wrong and where things are headed in a positive direction. Each location tells a unique site-specific story.

Experience KT Nelson & dancers’ audience-immersive choreography acknowledging the fragility of living on an island amidst a climate crisis. The dance is set to a soundscape of the voices of local residents and climate leaders exploring the question “Where do we draw the line?”.

Acknowledge our ancestral lands and learn an Earth Song with Kanyon CoyoteWoman Sayers-Roods. Listen to music and stories of different island cultures providing a global perspective about living in balance and respect for our natural surroundings.

Immerse yourself in the unique choreography and instrumentation of Balinese music and dance with Gamelan Sekar Jaya. Through interlocking rhythms and dramatic expressions, the ensemble explores Bali’s ethos of balance, harmony and interdependence, and how it informs local views on climate awareness.

Guest taiko artists join the fun with even more rhythmic excitement.

Artists and local climate organizations will offer fun hands-on activities for the community to participate in and learn about actions they can take to help mitigate climate change, inviting everyone to imagine a more connected and sustainable future.
