Glacier: A Climate Change Ballet at the National Portrait Gallery

  • National Portrait Gallery G Street Northwest Washington, DC United States (map)

It’s Earth Month! In conjunction with the Portrait Gallery’s “Forces of Nature: Voices that Shaped Environmentalism” exhibition, Moveius Contemporary Ballet will present "Glacier: A Climate Change Ballet." Created by Moveius Artistic Director Diana Movius, a climate policy expert, this piece imagines the dancers as melting polar ice caps; they ripple, crack and plunge in dance movements that connect the audience to the motion of ice in the arctic.

This event is free and open to the public! Join us at the Portrait Gallery’s Atrium for the performance.
