Event information

In a period of masks, when time is carefully watched, where we may feel disconnected, fearful of touch, when our minds are adapting to change and our health is critical, the ‘Respire’ project looks at recovery, hope and strength after a time of difficulty.

Exploring how we see one another, our bodies, our environment and reflecting on our needs, Respire looks to offer an imaginative and inspiring visual art lens to explore health and wellbeing, through the use of temporary materials on the human canvas.
Respire will offer you the opportunity to watch and participate in live body art creation and activities, as well as participate in live interactive music and sound.

The Respire Project focuses on health and wellbeing, with Emma Fay creating body art films live as part of a collective art experiences where audiences become participants in the creation of digital works.

This is an outdoor event and while we hope that September brings with it warm summer evenings, there is a chance it may rain, so please be aware that this event is not under cover, so dress accordingly. In the event of extreme bad weather, we will arrange contingency plans which will be indoors.

Our onsite Covid safety measures
Whilst we recognise that there is now no limit to large events and no legal bases of previous mitigation measures, we are also mindful of public anxiety and our obligation to prevent transmission of the virus. Therefore, we will be taking several measures on site to help us do that.
We ask all attenders and performers to be mindful not just of themselves but also of others and to attend with care for all in mind. 

We will encourage through announcements and signage for attenders and artists to socially distance in common areas. Please observe directions given by stewards in relation to this on site.

Hand sanitisers will be positioned across the site for people to use.
People are advised to wear face coverings queuing for food or drink and when accessing the site.

We have a reduced capacity onsite which will allow more space for people to only remain in the household bubbles if they wish.
Attenders and artists should check for symptoms of COVID-19 (a high temperature, new and persistent cough, or a loss of/change in sense of taste or smell) before travelling to the event. If anyone you live with have one or more of these symptoms (even if they are mild) they should not attend and should follow the guidance on testing and self-isolation.
Volunteers and Crew are expected to undertake a lateral flow test prior to the event to ensure we are safeguarding the public and reducing risk of transmission.
Thank you for your co-operation and we hope you enjoy the event.
