Plant Table is a performance activation entangling humans and plants in dances of relation. Table guests are invited to exchange vegetal stories, witness a duet and contribute to a collective archive of plant memories. Organic materials sourced locally are placed on the table becoming a sensorium of movement potential. Through cocreating physical scores, the library as living organism, becomes a place of reworlding. This durational event will be punctuated by plant meditations, facilitated dance scores, plant visibility walks, readings and bean sorting.

Durational performance:
22nd of November, Friday 5-8pm
23th & 24th of November 10am-5pm
FREE
📍Tūranga Central Library, Ōtautahi Christchurch
GF0, Foyer
