ReRoot is a hybrid soundwalk performance created by composer and sound artist Robert Coleman and dancer and choreographer Laura Sarah Dowdall for the Barnaslingan Wood, in the Dublin Mountains, Ireland.
ReRoot explores the symbiosis of sound and touch to re-connect with the forest and our bodies. Through a variety of participatory listening and somatic exercises, field recordings and performance our relationship with the natural world is brought into question. This experience seeks to deepen and help renew our relationship with nature and in doing so, allows us to challenge the existing conditions which have brought us into this climate and biodiversity crisis.
Using a variety of recording techniques around the forest including contact microphones (microphones which sense audio vibrations through solid objects) and geophones (microphones which sense seismic waves in the earth) Robert has recorded sounds typically inaudible to the human ear opening us up to a new perspective on the living world around us.
This listening is deeply rooted in the tactile and complementing this is Laura’s embodied artistic practice in dance, spoken word and the somatic senses where we will explore the moments when touch becomes sound and sound becomes touch.
ReRoot is part of Nature and Place, an initiative of Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown County Council Arts Office. It is supported by Coillte and the Dublin Mountains Partnership.
