Desert Crossings welcomes the world to the South West and takes us on a journey of discovery.
This cross-cultural journey is a collaboration between South West based producers State of Emergency and South African choreographer
Gregory Maqoma.
Desert Crossings traces our shared memories and the Earth’s history through the sands of time, beginning with the ancient desert landscapes preserved along the South West's Jurassic Coast World Heritage Site and their remarkable resemblance to the Skeleton Coast of southern Africa.
Desert Crossings will create an inspirational, site specific dance and film spectacle for the Jurassic Coast, along with a national tour and a public programme involving communities across the South West and in South Africa. The stories they uncover will engage communities in a global conversation about universal hopes and dreams of a better world.
