Woodlands
Woodlands (2015) is a dance production by The Woodlands Project produced by Shi Pratt and Kyrre Heldal Karlsen.
In the programme of Harare International Festival of the Arts (HIFA) 2015, the following is written about Woodlands:
"15 artists from all over the world come together in the Woodlands to share and to create a world premiere of expressive music, dance, poetry and visual arts.
Both global and personal, joyous and vulnerable, the production explores our need to fit in, while holding on to our individuality. Woodlands, an uncharted new territory where we share our dreams and challenge our fears. We are our humanity. We are all unique. We are one."

At the Facebook-event page of Woodlands the following is written about the production:
"We meet in the Woodlands. Each on our own path.
The Woodlands emerge from the maze of our paths.
As I walk the Woodlands, the ground appears beneath each of my steps.
As i walk i discover myself through you.
Like many small creeks we make a large river.
Together we are free to be vulnerable and that makes us stronger.
Together we share our dreams and challenge our fears.
We reflect on the mystery and joy of our lives and creation.
You recognize yourself through my reflection, and I find myself through yours.
I let you be you, so I can be me.
We are our humanity. We are all unique. We are one.
Out beyond wrongdoing and rightdoing there are the Woodlands. I'll meet you there."
Woodlands by The Woodlands Project was supported by theArts Council Norway, The Fund for Performing Artists and the Norwegian Ministry for Foreign Affairs/MFA (grant for cultural exchange with Southern countries/performing arts).
