Embracing all that winter represents, this edition of the Bloom Stage invites you to contemplate awe and wonder—and the subtleties between these related emotions—through storytelling, poetry, music, and art. From a field of frost flowers to a fireside toast, from a cozy kitchen to a bone-chilling bluff, from city sidewalks to the silent stars, rediscover a reverence for mystery and the warmth of connection. Produced by Kara Kemp and Jacqui Swift, join us as our performers summon winter’s breath and stir the timeless, the ordinary, and the remarkable into joy that flows like jazz—playful, profound, and sometimes unexpected- where every shared breath lingers like a tune and reminds us of our essential, collective spark.
