The Forest is the first piece in a series of projects for children that explore different kinds of landscape. It explores forests as places of transformation and change; places where you encounter things that are not quite what they seem; places where you become lost; where scale, distance and time are confused; and places where we encounter animals and light and darkness and weather.
Inspired by the forests we know from myth and fairytale, by the real forests that pepper the UK, and by the forests of our imaginations, it plays with light and sound and combines things from the natural world (conkers, pine cones, leaves, birdsong, people, trees) with a set made of metal, mirror and glass. It is the first dance-based piece Fevered Sleep has made for children, and is aimed at children aged 4 and over. In 2011, The Forest played at Stratford Circus, London, in July, and at the Sydney Opera House, Australia, in September. In February - March 2012, the production toured the UK.
