Bodies of Nature: Nature is Speaking

Bodies of Nature: Nature is Speaking is a 10-minute immersive dance performance that explores environmental protection and nature conservation awareness. Through movement and spoken word, we investigate the relationship between human actions, and nature and how they are interconnected.

The work is inspired by the "Nature is Speaking" film series by Conservation International, which gives nature a voice. "Nature doesn't need people. People need nature."

We hope to inspire people to take action towards preserving nature and appreciating the gifts it brings to us.
