Event:
Leonidio Climbing Festival
Date:
Friday 1st of November
An alternative experience of the city of Leondio.
Bridging levels, spaces, time, mediums and people.
A site-specific spectacle which invites the audience to an active viewing. Leondion bridges are being transformed into a stage.
Its theme is approached through ACTION from our diverse community for our EARTH.
I like to search for ways to open up the creative process to a diverse community (in age, sizes, backrounds, interests etc)
“Bridge my Bridge” is hanging over
the River my River which is part of
my, yours, his, hers,
EARTH OUR EARTH
On the 1st of November Leonidio’s Bridges staged the event “Bridge, my Bridge” where the audience, the performers, the climbers/performers and the organizers, shared moments full of colourful movement on, over, under and around the Bridge on many levels of existence.
Manuel cinematography, dance, activism and therapy of EARTH combined to form this site specific, interactive, walking art experience where climbers, artists and members of the community met.
The project started already before the show, with a series of activities where our LOVE for our home came into ACTION. From cleaning the river bed up to the dancing colours the interactive games and the collective therapy of the earth, Bridge my Bridge left us with warm memories!
I hope we meet again soon to create and share meaningful experiences.
