This Song We’re In / performance lecture
A performance by Lily Kiara in which she shares about her work in the fields of dance, music and poetry, as a response to the invitation to create a performance lecture for this festival. 
“It’s never been a matter of choice, but more about listening to that which moves each song or dance or poem to come to form. We cannot see the wind but we can see what is moved by the wind. Most of my work perhaps is work to listen closely to the wind.”
dance, singing, guitar: Lily Kiara
