A Community Art, Sound, and Movement Event | May 31, 2025 | Threshold: What Do You Move Through?

We all move through things in life. Why not move together one day through a tunnel—literally and figuratively—through the threshold. Making note of what we want to let go—and what we want to hold onto tighter.

Artist Craig Colorusso invites you to cycle, walk, play, dance, or sing through the sound tunnel in Downtown Rogers and join in community as we meditate on and celebrate the power that music, sound, nature, and movement have on our lives.

Threshold: What do you move through? Is a wellness and community-centered art and movement activation will occur on May 31, 2025, in and around the bike path tunnel at Maple Grove Park in Downtown Rogers. Commissioned by the City of Rogers in 2023, local sound, light, and sculpture artist Craig Colorusso created, composed, and installed an ambient sound artwork that permanently resides within the bike tunnel, playing tranquil and vibrational sounds in response to the detected movement by cyclists, runners, and others. You can see a brief clip here.

Threshold will consist of a day of scheduled public programs where multiple regional artists across disciplines will interact, move, dance, rap, lead yoga, and recite poetry within the tunnel that responds to and is harmonious with the existing ambient soundscape—highlighting nature, music, creativity, and movement as vital components of wellness. Community members will also be encouraged to participate in various performances, poetry, and movement exercises. The guiding prompt for all performers and community participants is: What do you move through?

Guided group yoga led by Suzie Atkin.

Sound Swings

Sound Swings Uptown is near the community garden and entrance to Mud Creek Trail. Sound Swings is an interactive set of swings – sized for adults – that play music. Each swing operates independently with its own section of the composition triggered by a participant. The music is made by an electric guitar; the lightness of the sound is designed to enhance the feeling of flight. address

A W A S H

A W A S H is a new digital piece that allows participants to create a unique experience with Cell Phones (or other devices.)

Simply access your favorite streaming platform with this link.

Then get some friends and have everyone start to play A W A S H from their phones. It will work with 3 or 4 people but we think it works best with 12 or more. You can either play one of the 12 tracks on repeat or the whole album on shuffle.

Make a drone. Share your results with us.

Sound + Light at The Momentary

Sunday October 25th Sun Boxes, CUBEMUSIC and Ladybug Cathedral will be on the green of the Momentary as part of their Sunday Reset series. There will also be two of my Yoga friends teaching classes. 7:30am-7:00pm.

Suzie Atkin and Catalina Carvajal will be on the green teaching yoga. It’s all free and you can sign up here

Sun Boxes is comprised of twenty speakers operating independently, each powered by the sun via solar panels. There is a different loop set to play a guitar note in each box continuously. These guitar notes collectively make a Bb chord. Because the lops are different in length, once the piece begins they continuously overlap and it slowly evolves over time. The sounds of Sun Boxes has been described as both soothing and energizing.

CUBEMUISC 6 Aluminum Cubes that emit sound and light. The piece transforms the space into a web of sound, light and shadows. If Sun Boxes were considered the daytime piece, CUBEMUSIC is definitely the nighttime piece. This is the second timne CUBEMUSIC has been outside.

Ladybug Cathedral was originally composed for the Delaware Art Museum as a 5 hour piece for bowed guitar. The piece has evolved since and for The Momentary there will be 3 one hour sections played on the green.
