PAY WHAT YOU DECIDE, BOOKING REQUIRED | BSL INTERPRETED
And I don’t just mean the way all those amino acids, vitamins, sunlight and stuff come together to create life, I mean ‘life’ is complex. Sometimes just getting out of bed is enough complexity for one day. But then there’s all that life maintenance stuff too – the bills – cooking – washing dishes – all that kind of stuff.
Sometimes it’s just all too complex – all too much.
I was Naked, Smelling of Rain is a heartfelt, life affirming story-telling experience exploring absence, presence, loneliness and dis/connectedness through the lens of weather, climate change and wellbeing.
We are at a critical point of the climate change and mental health crises. We are the most connected ‘on demand’ generation yet seem to have lost touch with who we are and where we fit in the world. We mediate our life through technology and screens. Are we ever truly where we are and present?
Accompanying the performance is 'Emotional Weather' - a gently-led workshop which looks at connectedness and wellbeing through the lens of weather. Book here.
