In response to the challenges of touring performance in an environmentally sustainable way, Tom Bailey – theatre maker and creative director of Herald Angel award-winning theatre company Mechanimal – will be touring on foot and ferry across Scotland, Norway and Denmark to perform new theatre show Crap At Animals at Passage Festival near Copenhagen. Over the course of two months, Tom will be following past, present and future boreal ‘treelines’ (that were common across Scotland and are still abundant throughout the Nordic regions) to better understand the landscape shifting North due to climate change. As the planet heats up with global warming, the huge boreal forest biome (spreading from Russian to Norway to Canada) is moving northward into the Arctic region. The whole forest is migrating northwards, year by year. Walking through these present forests, and past and future ‘ghost’ forests, he’ll be documenting the walk through imagery, writing and vlogging to create a new digital artwork of his journey.
