Alice Boyd - From The Understory EP (Live Session)

A live performance of Alice Boyd’s first EP ’From The Understory’, with spoken word interludes written by Natasha Kaeda. Created as part of Alice’s artist residency at the Eden Project - the world’s largest indoor rainforest - this EP explores our evolutionary journey and interconnectedness with the biosphere. When creating the live show for ‘From The Understory’, Alice asked writer Natasha Kaeda if she’d respond to the music with a series of interludes between each song. Natasha came back with a beautiful collection of poems, which thoughtfully guide us through a tale of reconnection with the natural world.
