The Naked Stark
Art for Young Audiences, Dance, Immersive & Interactive Experience
Meet The Naked Stark at Fairmount Water Works!
Our 10th annual community gathering offers a glimpse into our process and a sneak peek into our 2026 production. Dive into an exploration of water, time and space celebrating the site’s architecture, and the mosaic of memories in the former Kelly Pool.
Bodies of Water co-creators, Amalia Colón-Nava, Chloe Marie, Harlee Trautman, Katherine Kiefer Stark, Marcie Mamura, and Meredith Stapleton, navigate the interplay of each performers’ relationship to water. We are at once streams flowing together and humans making space for each other, carrying and being carried along, discovering the power and possibilities that emerge when we come together.
This piece is an offering to drift, pause, and plunge into a shared inquiry of place and process; a phase in an ever evolving project. We invite you to enter the current of unfolding together, between the seen and unseen, and the water nearby.
Join us for a performance and reception as we discover mutual buoyancy, find each other in the vastness, dive through turbulence, and surface together.
The event is 1-3pm, featuring three experiences, including a 20 minute performance. The event ends with a reception open to all.
This event is for all ages – meet us at the river!
