How do temporary, sustainable structures build shared identity and learning? Experience the power of community through a bold coastal installation.
Out There Arts and Ali Pretty of Kinetika collaborate with Joseph Williams of Bamboology to create The Beach of Dreams Village on Great Yarmouth beach. This striking installation combines sustainable design with community stories, integrating The Beach of Dreams Silks – crafted with local groups – into its innovative structure.
The project culminates in a celebratory choreographed performance, led by Charlene Low, bringing the installation to life. Reflecting on themes of sustainability, protest, and shared identity, this commission demonstrates how temporary structures can foster collective learning, creativity, and connection while highlighting the potential of sustainable construction.
Beach of Dreams is a UK-wide coastal arts festival, presented by Kinetika, activating and exploring the unique heritage, cultures and climate futures of our coastlines.
