“WANDER/WONDER: a sculptured dance happening 2025” was a success for visitors from all over.  This year, more people were able to participate and the dance performances even topped prior years in their beauty, joy, and audience interactivity.  We are grateful to the visionary energy of choreographer and team leader Eva Stone, and we are grateful to the 11 top notch professional dancers who came to Whidbey to share their movement art (and hard work) with everyone.  We also thank Island County for its grant support to make this event possible for the community, and to all of the participating visitors who gave donations to help fund the remaining expenses for the event.  We look forward to bringing this special and unique collaboration of sculpture, movement, music, and nature back again to the Sculpture Forest in the future.
