The Art of Gathering

The Art of Gathering

‘Art of Gathering’ – July 2012
Two-week residency as part of Art Trek 2012
A Devon Dance Compass project managed by Dance in Devon

A residency between ecological artist Pete Ward and Katy (with her dance artist hat on!) creating work in response to the changing environment of Courage Copse. The residency asked the question ‘can the gathering of material be the art?’

The woodland was open to the public for the duration of the residency. The public was invited to “Feel free to join [us] working, playing and creating. Stop and watch, stop and chat and get involved, or simply wander the woodland to notice the changes we have made.”

Workshops accompanied the residency for adults, children and invited artists.
