Kindred was a collaboration between Lightscape, Dublin Dance Festival and Liz Roche Dance Company exploring our relationship with nature, each other, and ourselves. Set in the garden of the ESB building on Fitzwilliam Street, the piece invited audiences to view a series of LED plinths and totems from a raised balcony, offering a quiet, reflective perspective on the work below.

The content blended choreography, motion design, AI-generated elements and original music to create an evolving visual and sonic landscape. Designed to run continuously from morning to evening across ten days, the installation offered a meditative space for repeated visits and slow engagement.
