i was thunderstuck to see this posted on the Beaver Management Facebook page because I had heard nothing of it up until then and I usually find out about these things. I was even more surprised to learn that she was at the beaver festival. which means that she was probably there to interview Brock Dolman and that’s why we didn’t meet.

Hello everyone! I am an artist developing a performance series about beavers to take place on a historic boat, on California waterways and in SF, in 2024. I am currently in the research phase and would love to have a short (or long!) conversation with people engaged in this work.
If you are near the CA Delta – my art team is doing a small pilot presentation July 15&16. It’s free but you must sign up since there are only a few time slots available.
If you can’t make it, no worries, we will film it and also keep you posted about the larger-scale series happening in 2024.

Invite and Timeslot signup form for July 15-16: https://forms.gle/9venyaUL2dcsdJsE7
Looking forward to hearing from and meeting many of you along the way!!

Of course I flocked to the website immediately where I found this:

Alita Edgar: Artistic Creation + Collaboration

forthcoming 2023-2024

San Francisco, California
Thanks to SF Arts Commission, California Arts Council
and the NEA for their support.

Of course it takes a special woman to get National Endowment funds for a beaver project. We are going to talk some time this week. Look like she has some pilot projects coming up that seem pretty interesting.
