Dawn Chorus:  Outdoor Pico Projections / Online distribution

What does nature mean to people during these unparalleled times?

Dawn Chorus looks at how we might seek comfort in the most basic of interactions with nature: a glimpse of a blue sky, or the fleeting song of a passing blackbird.  At a time when our native birds face a very real threat from climate change, intensive farming and pollution, Dawn Chorus celebrates our connection to them, their song, and what it represents to us as humans.

Dawn Chorus uses a variety of digital creation techniques. It was created deep in the heart of Sherwood Forest during Covid-19 isolation, and brought the collaborating artists together in a remote digital exchange, in a process of play and experimentation.  All characters were projected live in their environments, no post production, with accompanying audio soundscapes captured in the woodland.
