More about our guest:

In 2019 Dana Lynne Andersen brought a visionary performance called Ancient Future: Seeds of a New Civilization to an international conference on Climate Change and Consciousness at Findhorn in Scotland. With a cast and crew of 20 collaborators from 9 countries Ancient Future was a multi-modal, multi-media, live theatre performance in which music, dance, visual and video arts, poetry and dialogue were integrated in a simple, yet profound and inspiring story. Mythic worlds were created with sound and light; through the interviewing of word and image a tale was told. Movement and music moved the energy of a poetic narrative, whilst subtle interactions with projection and light-play were used to create sets and scenes.
