VITAL Health 'Crisis Materials' LIVE

Join VITAL Health for two live performances at Dix Park.

'Crisis Materials' is a movement and spoken word piece that unpacks how COVID-19 and the social unrest in our nation has affected our collective mental health. It also sheds light on the history of the land at park, specifically the Dix Hospital Cemetery.

Featuring an original poem by Johnny Lee Chapman, III and original movement by Anthony Otto Nelson, Jr., 'Crisis Materials' performances are also a means of recognizing Mental Health Awareness Month, a national movement to raise awareness about mental health.

Performance Times: 4:00pm + 5:15 pm

Location: Flowers Field at Dix Park

Tickets: Tickets are required and are free. Each ticket allows admission for two people.
