​About Restofest

​RestoFest is a small-scale festival combining bioregional resilience, community education & performing arts at the Historic Wakamatsu Farm in the Sierra Foothills of California (on the ancestral homelands of the Miwok, Nisenan, and Washoe people). RestoFest invites participants to connect to the watersheds & ecology they depend upon through hands-on activities & to enjoy live music & performances from local artists whose works elevate creative expression in concert with ecological restoration.

​About Groverflow

​Groverflow brings you into the question - how can we undam the flow?

​The play emerged from playwright Robin Crane’s exploration of their cancer diagnosis, finding connections to the collective body’s movements of divestment and restoration. Taking place in the interplay between our inner and outer watersheds, the show follows Grover the beaver trying to deconstruct the megadam that his ancestors built after being infected by a spell called Disconnectitus.

​He’s joined by the wise vulture Granny V, the shameful ostrich Shameus, Cancerroach, and the Flock, who all accompany him to di-vest his vest of armor and find a balanced role in restoration.

​The show is interactive in body movements and soundscape, inviting us all to participate in undamming (and beaver-damming) the flow in our bodies, economies and ecologies.
