Fall Dance Production: Echoes of the First Laugh
After a long hiatus, the CB Dance Collective is bringing back our beloved fall dance production! Echoes of the First Laugh is an intimate, meaningful performance rooted in somatic movement, personal storytelling, and inner child work. This production invites adult dancers to dive deep, exploring their own lived experiences through movement, memory, and creative inquiry. Together, we’ll examine both the joyful and tender parts of ourselves-the children we were before the world told us who to be-and bring those truths to life through collective creation and performance. This is not just a show-it’s a journey. A chance to reconnect with what’s real, with each other, and with the joy of creating from a true and embodied place.
Annual events in Crested Butte and Gunnison
Gunnison Valley is also host to several beloved annual events. A classic winter event is The Alley Loop, a Nordic ski race that doubles as a costume contest. In fall, Mt. Crested Butte hosts the famous Chili and Beer Festival. Every summer in Gunnison, a crowd gathers to watch America’s fourth-oldest rodeo, Cattlemen’s Days. There are also festivals in Crested Butte that celebrate local art, music, wildflowers, and more. Attending an annual event is a good way to connect with the culture of the Gunnison Valley. You might even create a new tradition for you and your family and friends!
