Joyful experiences inspired by the outdoors!
Our vision is for everyone to have equal access to nature & creativity.
We care about people feeling welcome to join in and take part, so we look for the gaps to identify who is missing out.
Putting people first, we co-design nature inspired performances, workshops and events for communities to enjoy creativity in the outdoors together.
Whether that be through movement, music, visual art or writing (the list goes on!), our artist collective draws upon the individual creativity and interests of those taking part to make memorable experiences happen.
