WITNESS

A devised piece of contemporary dance imagining human life viewed through the eyes of a forest. As years pass, the trees bear witness to the humans who walk among them, and the things they experience. The above excerpt is titled 'The Protest" and "The Ritual", and was choreographed by Kristine Berget as a part of director Emma Spokes Annetts' vision for the piece. 

​

Choreographed for and performed by 2nd year dance students at the Liverpool Institute for Performing Arts in 2022.
