Bella Gaia

Wednesday, April 05, 2023 @ 12:00pm



Grunin Center
1 College Drive, Toms River, NJ 08754

Created from the vision of composer/director Kenji Williams, BELLA GAIA has proven, time and again, to generate the elusive but critical emotional response: A Reason to Care. A show so effective that astronauts say the experience is an accurate simulation of space flight.

BELLA GAIA is an unprecedented NASA-powered immersive experience that communicates -without words – the natural and cultural BEAUTY of the planet (BELLA), and the interconnectedness of all things on Earth (GAIA). The “Sublime” and “Out of This World” (Village Voice, USA Today) experience is achieved by combining supercomputer data from NASA, views of Earth from space, photographs, and stirring live performances of music and dance from around the world.

This event is part of our Schools N Stage program. Email jwood@ocean.edu to learn more and to book your school group to attend!
