OUR Park was a research and development project that explored the contradictory themes of hope and hopelessness in response to climate breakdown through parkour and site responsive dance.
The project aimed to explore the confluence of movement, emotions, and environmental challenges through physical exploration within a playground setting.
To what extent might playful and creative responses to landscape and environment generate messaging around human ingenuity and resilience in an increasingly unstable world?
