Join us for this informal peek inside the rehearsal room, and don’t miss our upcoming April performances, In the Garden and Awe & Wonder.

Donna Sternberg & Dancers presents In The Garden, a site-specific dance performance at the Miles Playhouse in Santa Monica.

Five dancers guide audiences through the garden as movement unfolds among pathways, plants, and hidden corners of the landscape.

Inspired by plant biology, this contemporary dance performance explores the unseen lives of plants through vivid physical imagery. 

In The Garden continues Donna Sternberg & Dancers’ science-based performance series, which transforms scientific ideas into compelling movement and visual storytelling.

Following the performance, audiences are invited to stay for a short talk by landscape designer Jill Jacobson-Bennett, whose work focuses on sustainable plant design.

Join us for an immersive outdoor experience where dance, nature, and science meet.

Awe & Wonder returns in Spring 2026 with a new theme exploring the intersection of science, movement, and imagination. This annual performance series brings together choreographers and scientists to create thought-provoking, interdisciplinary works. Stay tuned for theme and date announcements coming soon!

An examination of the collaboration between scientist Devavani Chatterjea and me over many years of working together. including correspondence, conversations and interactive distillation of ideas that will be embedded into an evening-length sequence of previously choreographed dances, weaving through the dances as they discuss their process of collaboration and creation.
