The Answers

The Answers is a playful participatory outdoor dance work exploring the power of our collective joy and imagination in the face of the Climate Crisis.

The work was created with and performed by 10 volunteer performers ranging from 11 - 71 years old, and was performed at Festival of Thrift, UK.

Alongside the dance work, The Answers has a public art work that was installed across the course of Festival of Thrift - which is built upon Luca Rutherford’s public art project You Heard Us.

Thanks are due to all those who took part, including those who participated in the development of The Answers but who did not perform in the work including Pauline, Poppy, Sadaf and Sara.
