The Trees in us

experiences for adults, children and trees

A journey of imagination, curiosity, and care, where stories, dance, and laughter connect us with nature and new creatures (part human, part tree) show us the way.

Have you ever wondered if trees feels lonely at times?

Well… let’s ask them :)

The Trees in Us is a workshop/performance that playfully explores our interconnectedness with trees and the environment we share. Through imagination, movement, and shared memories, we’ll discover how curiosity can bring us closer to nature — and to each other.

Who is it for?

Children (4+) with their families.
Kindergarten & daycare groups.
Adults who love being in nature.

What will we do?

Storytelling through movement; Dance & sensory explorations; Playful discovery new “tree-creatures”; Gifting back to nature. Together we’ll ask the trees for guidance, create new creatures part-human/part-tree, and imagine what a better future might look like.

The first iteration of the Trees in Us was Tanztage Potsdam (Germany) festival in 2023. After incredibly responsive and touching experiences, the Trees in Us was part of the Nature Festival in Adelaide 2023, presented at the Botanic Gardens in the city, Mt Lofty and Wittunga to then head overseas again!

Can we share our deepest secrets, dreams and concerns with trees? Have you ever wondered if trees hold secret messages for each of us?

Have you ever eaten an apple seed and wondered if a tree would grow in your belly?

If you could be a tree, what tree would you want to be?
