Britain's What's On Event Guide
Date Nature
This is an invitation to attend the premier of Emily Laurens’ new short film Date Nature. The film follows the fortunes of three people from Pembrokeshire using the Date Nature app. As well as premiering the film there will be talks and activities on the theme of dating nature. Please dress to impress!
Date Nature is an app that invites people to hook up with, date and hopefully enter into meaningful relationships with other beings in the natural world. You could match with a tree, a bindweed plant, a pebble or a wetland.
This film, part of Span Arts Love Stories to Nature Commission, is inspired by the ecosexuality movement and ideas from queer ecology. It explores notions of natural and unnatural and the opportunity we have to stay with the troubling times we live in, embrace complexity and get entangled in nature.
Emily Laurens is a multi-disciplinary socially engaged artist, co-director of Feral Theatre, co-founder of Lost Species Day, Play Officer for the National Trust and trainee Art Psychotherapist. Her work is about ecological crisis and social justice and uses metaphor to better understand the world and how radical imagination can be used to envision alternate futures.
