MOVING HABITATS
Moving Habitats is three 30-minute immersive dance participation workshops that are available on demand for primary school aged children (KS1 and KS2). These films are a great way to either increase, or embed, awareness of environmental issues through a diverse range of dances – encouraging pupils to think about global environmental impacts through the collective power of dance.
Explore three different environmental issues across three different habitats:
- The Arctic and Melting Ice Caps
- Oceans and Plastic Pollution
- Coasts and Rising Sea Levels
