Dance, live music and performances in the park? That is exactly what is coming up on Sunday in Nicosia’s Athalassa Park, as the Green Steps programme presents its next activity. With a focus on dance and ecological sensitivity, the programme connects children aged five to 11 with educators to encourage environmental welfare through the art of dance.

As such, a curated morning experience takes place at the park from 10am, with free entry. Inspired by the ‘Wood Wide Web,’ the performance invites audiences of all ages to discover how nature is full of connections. Beneath the ground, plants and trees are linked by a hidden network of fungi and roots, sharing water, nutrients and even messages to help each other grow and flourish.

Green Steps brings this secret world to life. Dancers and musicians explore how plants ‘talk’ to one another and work together in surprising ways. What might this invisible dance look like under our feet? Taking inspiration from the rhythms and patterns of the forest, the performance encourages children and adults alike to think about how we are connected – to each other and to the natural world.
