Welcome
Thank you for joining us today in the Alaska Botanical gardens. We wanted to give you a couple of reminders to aid in your experience.
Stick to the path. You can go in any direction. Stop at anytime, and continue on again when you’re ready.
You will not get to see all of the performances happening here today. You will have to make choices. Seeing some things means you will miss others. But it’s ok. That’s the point (and part of the fun).
Be courteous to others. We are living in strange times. Times that call for extra kindness. Please keep your mask on throughout the garden and leave generous amounts of space between you and your fellow travelers.
If you need assistance, look for our ushers. They’re wearing lanyards and standing at each performance site.
Remember. This performance is for you. And you are part of it. It would not exist without you and we are grateful to share this moment in time with you.
The performance runs for approximately 1 hour.

About A Pathway Performance | Sugar & Salt
Set in the living museum at the Alaska Botanical Garden in Anchorage, Alaska, Momentum Dance Collective and The Forest That Never Sleeps have come together for a performance that brings a love story of human experience to life. Kat Moore’s beautiful melodies and lyrics will transport you to the intersection of experiences universally familiar and uniquely personal, a reflection on life, love, and the emotional landscapes sculpted by both a global pandemic and a social justice movement. Originally designed for a stage performance in April 2020 and reimagined for our current climate, we hope to capture and share this moment in time with you. Though carved by the influence of our beautiful environment, this art represents a shared struggle that transcends Alaska’s borders.
