Originally from India, this tree with spherical fruit is now the national tree of St. Lucia and found in the Caribbean and US South. The fruit is poisonous to humans but the shells can be used to make musical instruments!
I had never seen a Calabash tree with fruit before, and they are really pretty incredible.
Movement phrase 1 below is based on the spherical shape of the fruit. They remind me of the playground balls from elementary school. Phrase 2 is exploring some ideas around poison and danger in nature.
