Breath of Nature
Breath of Nature Dance Film Project
During Summer 2021 dance artist Cherie Brennan worked with Bloomin Arts, Rhythmic Collision and halow Project on a dance project exploring nature.
About The Project
Breath of Nature was an opportunity for DAiSY member organisations Bloomin Arts, Rhythmic Collision and halow Project to explore the regenerative power of nature. Participants were encouraged to get moving, come together and be creative. Each group had three sessions with Cherie and the activity happened in person and over zoom.
The final dance film was shot and edited by Floyd Konde. It is available at DAiSY’s YouTube channel.
Funding for this project has been provided by Community Foundation for Surrey.
