Treehouse Shakers’ The Deepest Breath, is for ages 9-13. Based on the book by Meg Grehan, adapted/directed by Cheyenne Mesura, with choreography by Ashley Chavonne in collaboration with the performers, The Deepest Breath centers on Stevie, a young girl who LOVES to read. After realizing that there are so many things to learn about, Stevie experiences anxiety. As her anxious thoughts take over, Stevie focuses on learning about EVERY creature in the ocean in hope that she can unravel her thoughts and make sense of these new feelings. There is just one thing that Stevie can’t stop thinking about…why does she get a fizzy feeling in her stomach when she looks at her friend Chloe?
Audiences are invited to join Stevie on a bubbling, aquatic adventure of acceptance and self-love as her curiosity leads her to uncover more about the world and herself. Told through original theater and dance, The Deepest Breath is an inquisitive and honest story that welcomes young people to be brave in a world full of unknowns.
