Without Us - sunset moving image projection onto the cliffs in Lulworth Cove.

All you need to do to be a part of the performance is come to the beach at 4.45pm on September 12th

Without Us is a site-specific night-time performance event which takes place on the beach in Lulworth Cove, Purbeck. Devised by Charlie Morrissey, and using the UNESCO World Heritage Site as backdrop, stage and cinema screen, this event draws our attention to the global significance of the site by reflecting on the meaning of Outstanding Universal Value.

The work is a meditation reflecting on our fleeting time on the planet and uses images projected onto the cliff face to explore its geology, natural history and environment.

With a mix of live performance and projection onto the cliffs, the relationship between humans and their environment and our place in the landscape will be explored.

Come and join in. All you need to do to be a part of the performance is come to the beach at 4.45 on September 12. You, along with lots of others, will be taught a very simple sequence of movements on the beach and then, as darkness falls everyone will perform the piece to music with the sea in the background. Once the live performance is finished, there will be a film projected onto the cliffs.

The piece will be very simple and fun to do - you don't need to have any performance experience - just come along and take part.

If you'd like to take part, please contact Mandy Rathbone on 01308 459071 or [email protected]

Artist Charlie Morrissey has been commissioned by PVA MediaLab in partnership with the Jurassic Coast Arts Programme to produce three site- specific works in Dorset and Devon. Titled ‘Universal Value', the works will use the UNESCO World Heritage Site as a backdrop, stage and cinema screen to draw our attention to the global significance of the site, exploring its geology, natural history and environment.
