BAMBOO by NoFit State
2024-08-10 14:00, 2024-08-10 17:00 | Colby Woodland Gardens
We are excited to be hosting BAMBOO by NoFit State – a spectacular new high-impact, high-skill outdoor circus production using only bamboo and human bodies – revealing the fragility and beauty of our interconnected and interdependent life on this planet.

The artists arrive at an empty stage, bringing bundles of bamboo. They build towering sculptures which morph, transform and become an improbable, delicate circus playground that seems to defy the laws of physics.

Inhabited by world-class circus artists and acrobats, the structures bend, and flex, adding to the tension, drama, and sense of jeopardy that lies at the heart of great circus.

A meaningful, joyful performance with live music, comedy and amazing feats of strength and agility.

Together we celebrate what’s possible when humans and the natural world trust each other and work in harmony.

Saturday 10th August

Start times: 2pm and 5pm

Colby Woodland Gardens, Garden Road, Amroth SA67 8PP

We want your Earths, Clays and rocks! SPAN invites you
to join Rhiannon Rees’s gentle painting
project to map out your Pembrokeshire.
We are delighted to invite you to participate in Rhiannon Rees’s
Gentle Painting Project as part of SPAN Arts’ 2024 Love Stories to Nature
program. For our latest commission for Love Stories to Nature, artist Rhiannon
Rees is running a gentle painting project and for this we are collecting dry
soil, rocks and pebbles from around Pembrokeshire.
Rhiannon Rees’s site-responsive practice merges her interest in
sustainable painting practices with her Welsh heritage. Foraging for pigments
and creating Welsh paints is key, it allows her to connect with her ancestorial
land. Once, one side of her family mined the Welsh land, and the other farmed
the land. Rhiannon spends time in locations
across Wales collecting industrial waste and natural materials to form her
gentle paints. Gentle Painting is Rhiannon uses gentle painting as a way of engaging
with the land, and as a way to bring this connection into her studio.
The Gentle Painting Project invites
Pembrokeshire communities to map the beautiful colours of their home county. We
invite you all to send a small sample of earth, rock or clay from your garden
to add to a pallet of sustainable paints which will be made and used in
workshops to map out Pembrokeshire using its own colours.
Please send your dried earth samples in a
sealed bag, within in a letter that can fit through a letterbox to: The Gentle
Painting Project, SPAN Arts, Towns
Moor, Moorfield Rd, Narberth.SA67 7AG by the 10th of August. In your letter detail
your sample location so we can add it to the map. You can also drop off your
sample at the SPAN building on Wednesdays between 10am and 5pm or bring your
sample directly to a workshop.
Rhiannon
will be holding two workshops in St Davids and Span Arts, where communities are
invited to learn how to make gentle paints using the earths collected from
their samples. The project will end with a tea and painting party where
everyone will be able to use the gentle paints to share their own love stories
to Pembrokeshire.
