Mother Earth Perdona
Eco Performance - “A type of theatre and performance making that puts ecological reciprocity at the centre of its theatrical and thematic intent.”
Bottoms, S., A. Franks, and P. Kramer, eds. 2012. “On Ecology.”
This work is a reverence to Mother Earth. It uses the universal language of art to remind each of us that respect for our planet and gratitude for the gifts She provides for us should be at the forefront of our minds and hearts on a daily basis. With this work, I hope to inspire passion and compassion for the Earth and all the life that inhabits our planet. And invite people to take responsibility for the thriving of Mother Earth.
