On Friday, April 5th, 2019, The Soraya presents an all-day festival featuring dance, music, and art inspired and created by, the Los Angeles River. The culmination of an unprecedented 6-month collaboration between CSUN students from various disciplines, The Soraya, Associated Students, and local and national eco-artists; Future Currents: Los Angeles River serves to shine a light on an ecological issue core to the future of Los Angeles.

The festival will feature a sculptural installation by Los Angeles Sculpture and founder of LA River Kayak Safari, Steve Appleton. Appleton’s sculpture, Alluvial Wave is a large scale sculptural installation that models the physical, environmental, and social forces of the Los Angeles River, while creating a dynamic space for a collaboration with Artichoke Dance Company. The sculpture is made out materials from the river: native and invasive plants, up-cycled bottle plastic, tumbled rocks and swaths of colorful fabric caught in trees during rain storms.
