About Listen to the Forest

What if we would be able to listen to the knowledge of trees and plants? What if we could find a more sustainable lifestyle? What if these questions could be brought on stage through a live performance?

'Listen to the Forest' is an experimental dance performance blending movement together with spoken word, music and BSL but it is also much more than this: it is a space to explore our capacity of feeling and empathy for other life-forms through our connection with breathing. Because plants and trees have some life and purpose outside their use to human beings.

Join our performances at Assembly Roxy. Together, we can create a space to breathe!

All performances are BSL accessible and followed by a Q&A.
