Woven Land – participatory audio guided choreography
Choreographed, written and narrated by Vanessa Grasse
Recording, editing and soundscape by Oliver Dover
Woven Land is part of The Land We Are project series. The Land We Are offers a variety of creative activities in woodlands and green spaces. Inviting us to fully experience through our body, our movement, our senses and our physicality, to revive our connection with and care for trees, the land and natural ecosystems.
Experiencing through the body is a fundamental way of knowing which allows us to find deep, meaningful and empathic connections.
Activities include choreographic works, movement workshops, remote scores, and interdisciplinary collaborations between artists and environmental experts. Each activity offers a practice of moving with trees, woodlands and other environments, investigating ways to facilitate shifts in our anthropocentric experiences; offering embodied, creative and accessible experiences of ecology and relationship with the more-than-human world.
The Land We Are is also a Tree Charter branch. You can join tree ecology, tree planting, woodland preservation and restoration projects via your local council and via hundreds of charities throughout the country and the world.
