October 15, 2017 at Westside Trail There is movement in the air, though we cannot see it. There is music in the valley, though we hear it not. The autumn wind sings; it dances. You can see it. You can hear it. We will show you the way... in the Valley of the Whirligigs. Crossover Movement Arts Navigators – auxiliary members of the company -- await you at two access points to the Atlanta BeltLine: 1258 West Fair Street and 1181 Fenwood Street. Select one and join us there. Perhaps you’ll be chosen to pull a rolling whirligig or play a noisemaker as we walk together into the valley between. Up on the high hillside in their musical pergola, Messrs Bragg and Helton call our two processions to assemble, converging on the BeltLine within a spirit circle of whirligigs dancing in the wind. The Navigators sound the summons, spinning whirligigs overhead, and the dancers of Crossover Movement Arts emerge from their nomadic lodging in the green. A raucous rumpus, a rousing roustabout, a boisterous bounce begins. We stir the air and stomp our feet, awakening the sky and the ground as we celebrate the season’s shift. We summon the valley’s dance with whirligigs spun on strings. We calibrate the wind’s music with whirligigs that sing. As the ritual reaches its climax, we ascend the hill to the musicians' pagoda, from whence emerges the fabled winged Sharkonocerous, bearing its bounty of limeade.
