In The Field







In The Field brought site-specific theatre to an urban organic community vegetable
field. It was a collaboration between Sense of Place Projects and CERES Community Environment Park in Brunswick, Melbourne. The project involved eight months of vegetable growing and rehearsal onsite, and culminated in a sublime and lively performance that weaved together farming stories and sensitive, spirited responses to the local landscape. Throughout the process we grew a creative language that opened new ways of seeing the place, inspired and enriched urban vegetable growing activities, and connected the audience members and participating artists to the local landscape.
