8 WAYS TO BE IN THE NATURE

by Thomas Bentin Works

8 Ways to be in the Nature is a participatory performance that offers a poetic, social and humouristic experience, with the aspect of collaboration at its center.

The audience gets together in an outdoor location, and guided by the performers, they collaborate in the creation of 8 moving tableaus using different colorful objects.
Each tableau is composed by following simple and easy tasks, and manifests an installation in which the performers move and dance.

The ambition of the event is to activate the audience in a creative and playful way, that is accessible for anyone independent of age and prior artistic experience.

The performance was produced as a response to the Covid19-lockdown in 2020, in order create an event that let people meet and share a social and artistic experience within safe distance from each other.
