#TinyDance First Light Festival by Casson & Friends

Inspired by the ideas and created in response to conversations with Kirkley community members, this specially made performance by Casson & Friends explores our relationship to nature, foraging and what we love about where we live. It was performed as part of First Light Festival’s Longest Days of Summer on 26 June 2021.

Kirkley Creates invited people to explore the area’s green spaces, beach and architecture through a series of social and creative sessions led by artist collaborators Carrie Phoenix and Kasia Posen (The Third Person), working with forager Jon Tyler and choreographer Tim Casson. This led to the creation of new planters sited in Kirkley and filled with edible plants, offering space to connect, rest, socialise and share.

Created as part of Kirkley Creates through conversations with Kirkley Residents about our relationship to nature, foraging and what we love about where we live.
