25 May throughout the day

Experience live dance performances in response to Emma Critchley’s immersive video installation

Soundings is an immersive three-screen video and sound installation by Emma Critchley that explores the depths of the ocean. Blending a wide range of footage relating to the deep-sea and its pervading narratives with soundscapes and dance, Critchley confronts pressing questions about deep-sea mining and its impact on the planet.

Throughout the day, live dance performances will animate the work, deepening the connection between the viewer and the creatures on screen.

This is the first in a series of performances that will take place at Tate St Ives throughout the exhibition.

Tate St Ives is located on Porthmeor Beach. There is a ramp up to the gallery entrance alongside stairs with a handrail.
