After a weekend of watching circus and physical theater shows, research, we went to Golden Gate park to lie in the grass and enjoy the last bits of sunlight on the longest day of the year. It was Summer Solstice and we knew that we should have some kind of ceremony. Spending hours a week dreaming up our storyline for a magical tale we decided we needed to have a symbolic, magical quest to celebrate solstice. We needed to the unlock wisdom of children playing. So we found the most enthralling playground to explore and discovered a new adventure. We developed the quest....make a key out of cardboard ( one of the materials in the landscape of our piece) and find the magical door to unlock. Like children, we committed to the imaginary world we created; our notions of age and time fell away.
