The Art of D’Ark

By Catheryn Thompson

An enjoyable outdoor performance was held at the Yinnar Community Garden in mid March. The Autumnal equinox gathering was to celebrate the elementals of earth, water, fire and air with theatre and song.

The gazebos and the pergolas added a theatrical style and along with the central cosmic mosaic designed by Sari Anderson, it provided a perfect place for a celebration of nature and the elements so intrinsic to the life of a garden.

The display featured artistic collaboration, installation and performance artists, Peter Corser, Deb Morrison (Earth), Garryelle Rose, Sarah Reark (Water), Yakshideva aka Catheryn Thompson with helpers Sari and Lisa Anderson (Fire Snake) Margie Mackay, Gilbert Douglas (Air), and the Grand Ridge 245 Choir.

Over 80 persons visited the gardens, participated and enjoyed the performance on a cool autumn afternoon.
