Earth My Earth

How many clothes can you buy in a lifetime wear in a lifetime waste in a lifetime?” It is not everyday that we have the opportunity to put our ecological consciousness into action, and at the same time express our emotions creatively about this planet that hosts us. “Earth, my Earth” embodies exactly this opportunity.

Kynourio Soma is collaborating with Fingerprint Dance who is the hosting association. Other groups who have embraced the project are: Bridport Youth Dance including dancers from The Weavers, No limits intergrated dance company, Grace + Growl dance company of mature performers, Bridport School of Regenerative Fashion, Bridport Food Matters, Harbour House Residential Care Home for the elderly, West Bay Swimmers Action Group. Each community group brings their expertise, knowledge and passion to the project creating a multi faceted event with workshops, performances, collaborative installation, sustainable living activities and a shared community meal.
