Professor Laurence Gill, Chair of Environmental Engineering at Trinity College Dublin, is organising a unique art-science event called Dance of the Carbon Cycles, taking place on Saturday 7th June (12–5pm) at Collins Barracks, Dublin.

Co-funded under the EU COST Action SHIFT project as part of the Sounds for Sustainability initiative, and also the Research Ireland Centre for Applied Geoscience (iCRAG), this participatory event uses live folk music and dance to represent the deep and shallow carbon cycles and their links to the water cycle and climate change. Three French folk dances, performed in sync, create a physical metaphor for these interacting environmental systems.

The music has been specially composed for the event by renowned English folk musicians Rob Harbron and Emily Portman, who will also perform on the day. The world premiere of the work is open to dancers, singers, and musicians of all abilities, and will be filmed for a documentary.

To join as a musician, singer or dancer, or to learn more, contact Prof. Gill at laurence.gill@tcd.ie. or visit here.
