Sensory Line 

With Environmental Performance Authority

Saturday 24 and Sunday 25 November, 3 pm - 9 pm, Brunswick - Fawkner

Come on a touring adventure exploring the rich sensations of Moreland! Traversing South to North one day, and North to South the next, Environmental Performance Authority (EPA) invite participants to follow the lead of their senses: to look, hear, smell, touch – even taste. SENSORY LINE focuses on the places in between that we might usually ignore, treating them as complex, valuable ecosystems. Through live performance and guided participatory activities, the journey will release beauty, surprise and vivid experiences from hitherto unremarked places through the changing atmospheres of day, evening and night.

Presented as part of MoreArt
