Ways of Being (Systema), The Wonder Project, Shrinking Space, Kew Gardens - Wakehurst, 2018
Using poetry provocations to devise a multi-sensory walk aimed at revealing connections between humans and other living beings, I directed performers Orna Salinger, Dipo Ola and Lateisha Davine Lovelace-Hanson in a promenade performance that unfolded along a two-mile journey towards sunset through this historic landscape. The Wonder Project invited audiences to become more mindful of the intricate relationships within nature’s stories that inevitably involve us. Visitors encountered newly commissioned soundscapes, sculptures and art installations inspired by Wakehurst’s botanic plants and the scientific research carried out in the Millennium Seed Bank, and across Kew’s global network.
