Park Wanderings is a new trilogy of three short films by Corali made in partnership with dance company Impermanence, and commissioned by Southwark Park Galleries. The films are a poetic response to Southwark Park and Alec Finlay’s permanent nest box trail, Questions and Answers, (after Paul Celan). Corali dancer Bethan Kendrick developed movement material that captures her imaginings of roses, moorhens, diving into a cup of tea and moss covered statues.
Read insights from the creative team below, as they reflect on making the film in lockdown.

When bridges are built
Across oceans and land,
Opportunities transpire
Connections form shapes
That creativity inspire
A common language
Through movement is spoken,
Uniqueness is celebrated in our dance
And so the bridge continues to stand,
When every artist is given their chance.
