Drift Premiere: Thu 9 Apr 2026 Venue: Gordon Aikman Lecture Theatre, University of Edinburgh

Drift is a dance piece that explores the state of our oceans today, focusing on the impact of overfishing.

Inspired by the complex structures of coral reefs, the dancers weave their limbs together, competing for space as their environment shrinks—mirroring how marine life becomes displaced when habitats are destroyed. As the piece unfolds, it also highlights the oceans’ remarkable capacity for cooperation and renewal, reminding us that regeneration is our collective responsibility and hope for the future.

Presented by Madeline Squire, Wendy Timmons and The University of Edinburgh
