Slowstepper presents Terra

Music/theatre duo Slowstepper play music from Terra, a multimedia project exploring our relationship to the natural world.

Terra consists of a concept album, podcast series, theatre show and plans for a series of films. All of the material is united in dealing with the living being we call Earth; by fusing together cutting edge climate science, Gaia theory and searing original music, Terra gives voice to an array of the creatures who make up our planetary super-organism. In the process it explores how we might learn from the natural world in order to collectively build a sustainable future, take responsibility for our part in the climate crisis, and find hope in the face of encroaching disaster.

The creatures at the heart of Terra also play various active roles within the compositions - the album features songs constructed from migratory birdsong, the mating call of the arctic fox, and the genetic code of COVID-19 itself.

Slowstepper is theatre and music makers Max Barton and Jethro Cooke, who founded the award-winning theatre/music company Second Body - their theatre concert STYX has toured to Australia, London and Edinburgh, received ten ★★★★★ reviews, won a Perth Fringe World award and was nominated for a Total Theatre Award. Terra was shortlisted for the Arts Foundation Futures Award earlier this year.
