James O'Driscoll Gallery I 45mins I Family Friendly event

An immersive and collective delve into the natural world through a sci fi and poetic field of dance, sound and film.

Using sound, set, light, movement, video and voice the stage becomes an animated space thatvibrates, shivers, thunders, glitters and glows. The dancers bring animals, insects, plants and fungi to life, in a dance that celebrate and bow to the beauty of the natural world.
Calling on the imagination and celebrating the innocent, this family friendly trio lets the body share shape with the land around us. As if earth was speaking to us, urging us to remember how to love and protect, how to go back to nature and to dreaming.

LUMEN exists in the borderland. Between music and dance, human body and machine, between sunset and sunrise. Using sound, light, movement, video and voice the stage becomes an animated space that vibrates, shivers, thunders, glitters and glows, bowing to the beauty of the natural world.
Calling on the imagination and celebrating the innocent, this family friendly trio lets the body share shape with the land around us. It is a work that brings the audience in to the ritual, as if earth was speaking to us, urging us to remember how to love and protect, how to go back to nature and to dreaming.

LUMEN is a metamorphic, rampant, botanical showdown highlighting topics of biodiversity, beauty, worldbuilding and the interconnectedness of all living things.
