Hermitage Sunsets @ Selby Gardens: “Sound and Silence”

Hermitage Sunsets @ Selby Gardens: “Sound and Silence” with Hermitage Fellows Bill Bowers and Kavita Shah, Thursday, May 2, 6:30pm: We say a lot with our words, but in the hands of a gifted artist, the notes in between and the gestures underneath unlock even deeper expression. Hear from two such creators in “Sound and Silence” as part of Hermitage Sunsets @ Selby Gardens series, featuring returning Hermitage Fellows Bill Bowers and Kavita Shah. A celebrated mime by training and a master of physical theater techniques, Bill Bowers is a charismatic storyteller who is currently writing his remarkable life story in a memoir about making theater all over the world. Hailed for her “amazing dexterity for musical languages” (NPR), Kavita Shah speaks several languages and sings amazingly in them all. These two Hermitage Fellows embrace both the sounds and the silences surrounding them as opportunities for connecting through performance. Presented in partnership with Marie Selby Botanical Gardens. Registration is required at HermitageArtistRetreat.org ($5/person registration fee). Selby Gardens Historic Spanish Point, 401 N. Tamiami Trail, Osprey, FL 34229
