Dirtbaby Farm is a creative farm business stewarding 1/4 acre of leased land in Northwest Philadelphia. As partners to this borrowed land, we grow fresh, organic vegetables and herbs for our community of neighbors, fellow working artists, mothers and children.
Dirtbaby Farm is comprised of three worker-members, Arielle Collela, Evelyn Langley, and Amalia Gabriel Colón-Nava, who are also multi-disciplinary artists! Sometimes they embark on performance projects and commissions such as the work-in-progress they will be presenting. Joe Ahmed is a theater artist, writer and collaborator on this project. Will Collela is the musician and composer for this project. Amalia is also a company member and collaborator of The Naked Stark.
Sunshowers at the Schuylkill is a reimagining of an older work (Sunshowers) presented by Dirtbaby Farm for family friendly special weekend at the Philadelphia Museum of Art in April 2023. We will be presenting some interactive performance ideas and excerpts from our original performance. This work is intended for families and young children.
