“The redesign of our world will need artists to provide imagination, creativity and emotional connections—both to the mess we have created and to the possibilities we can create together.”
It’s not me… imagines the planet and a human being in a make-or-break conversation about their relationship.
How did we get here? Can there be hope for the future?
This searing dance-theatre work lays bare the emotions we can feel when facing the climate emergency: betrayal, fear, helplessness, anger, empowerment, wonder and hope.
It’s not me… has been supported by the Gillian Dickinson Trust and has been commissioned by Dance City.
