The Industrial Garden Town
The Industrial Garden Town is a performance exploring the future of industry and the impact of clinging to outdated, fossil-fueled methods of production. It reflects on how this slow decline dismantles towns, while offering hope through green alternatives. The piece envisions a future where an industrial garden town can thrive—sustainably, beautifully, and with a renewed purpose for living and working. It also comments on the production of British steel, emphasizing its cyclical journey: born from the earth and destined to return to it.
