Symbiosis

What

Symbiosis was an exclusive after-dark walking tour through the Australian National Botanic Gardens with illuminated live dance, music and spoken word by award-winning dance company, Australian Dance Party and collaborating artists.

This unique sensory experience explored the volatility of the natural world in the age of the Anthropocene. An embodied study of symbiotic relationships: parasitism, mutualism and commensalism, provoking a crucial reflection on human-ecological relationships and the response-ability we hold in shaping our ecological future.
