MOLECULAR LANDSCAPES

A soft and joyful work of outdoor dance theatre, ‘molecular landscapes’ is a process-based project that was researched, created and performed at multiple outdoors sites across lək̓ʷəŋən and W̱SÁNEĆ territories.

The team, spurred by curiosities, have collaboratively crafted material informed by research into local fauna and flora, our molecular ancestors, soft sculptures, local histories, the body in nature, and much more. The project asks us to carry our bodies back into ecosystems that created us. It is a love story about the joy and magic of nature. It is a reminder of where we came from, and where we pour our attention.
