An immersive look at the process of fossilisation employing the arts of sculpture, music, voice and dance. Discover the qualities of clay, flint & chalk, unearth unstable minerals & trespass into the hidden cavities of our natural coastline.
Working with artists, performers, geomorphologists and local communities from West Hythe to Folkestone East we have been exploring our local coastline, sharing responses to the challenge of change and, in the process, discovering truths about our shifting landscape.
Local fossil expert and GeoAmbassador Steve Friedrich will be joining Fat Lady Opera as part of a Q&A session following the performances.
