ROOTS
BELFAST
2024
Inspired by nature, community, and the future, ROOTS captivated audiences with a vibrant celebration of growth and unity. Developed in collaboration with the Black Mountain community, this critically acclaimed event transformed a shared yet contested space at Belfast's 'million brick' peace wall, which divides the Springmartin and Springfield communities.

LIVE
SHOWS
​Performed in a specially designed, newly planted garden, this ambitious large-scale dance work was our most significant production to date. It featured a site-specific performance that blended dance, poetry, and audience participation. Participants were invited to wear headphones and guided through the performance—watching, listening, moving, touching, and connecting in an engaging journey throughout the space.
Wowing audiences, ROOTS ignited fresh conversations and inspired dreams of a collective future. Here, art and nature intertwine to reshape the narrative of Belfast's public spaces, promoting inclusivity, collaboration, and the limitless potential of collective imagination.
