Holding that we ourselves are part of nature, Sandra Corrigan-Breathnach will employ a series of exercises exploring intuition and the creation of connective communal spaces through clearing and grounding, connecting in with the energy of the earth and the shared energy of all participants, with the intention of working together in unison. These sessions will in part, be held outdoors (Weather dependent) employing willow and stone.

Deej Fabyc will work with ritual objects and natural materiel to develop a workshop with the group that utilises surrealist games and chance based methodologies The group will address attitudes and fears around the climate emergency and develop ideas about positive ways forward in these times.

Julieann O’Malley wants you to trust her as she asks you step in to a world where the whispers of the wild meet the hum of the machine. Echoes of Eden is a visceral performance workshop exploring the fragile dance between nature, technology, harmony, control, existence and extinction.Through movement, sound, and immersive storytelling, participants will traverse the landscapes of an ancient earth, pulsing with life.
Julieann O’Malley will also work with the group by utilising performance to camera vinittes to guide the group in performance to camera techniques.
