Ysgol Arbrofol At Ein Coed : Tree Sense Experimental School 

Over the course of our residency at Pontio (March - May 2023), Utopias Bach invited audiences to become symbiotic participants in a co-inquiry with trees and other more-than-human beings. We wanted to establish a bilingual Ysgol Arbrofol/Experimental School to create a forest-like interconnected community of inquiry, movement, senses, sound, growth and connection. We structured the residency around a series of Cylchoedd. Each Cylch was present (online and at Pontio/Parc y Coleg) for a week or two, hosted by a different Utopias Bach Experiment, and open to all to witness/ participate.

This residency was created by: Wanda Zyborska, Lisa Hudson, Emily Meilleur, Lucy Finchett-Maddock, Gaia Redgrave, Lindsey Colbourne, Steph Shipley, Ellen Davies, Sarah Pogoda, Rhys Trimble and Kar Rowson.
