And Breathe… is a climate change dance film inspired by the newly introduced “Clean Air Zone’ in Birmingham and the negative reactions it generated as people challenged having to make changes to their habits and lifestyles. This film is choreographed and performed by the award-winning Kesha Raithatha. Kesha combines contemporary and Kathak movement to embody the conflicts of over-consumption versus preservation….and, ultimately, if we meet that challenge how there is hope for the future.
The film and dance choreography explore the effect of carbon emissions and their apocalyptic impact on humanity and the earth. For the sake of future generations, And Breathe…challenges us to go back to basics, to pass on and use intergenerational skills that help to prevent climate change through lower consumption and replacement practices to put back what we take out.
