When human movement patterns start to realign with the patterns of other species – eagles, mayflies, geese, muskrat – our awareness rejoins the community of life into which we are born but which our built environments too often hide us from.

The choreographer, though, is not an individual but the relationship among a multitude. The river is not a passageway for lifeless water molecules but is a life-form. David George Haskell

‘Salmon is the King of Fish. Their journeys up rivers are some of the most thrilling spectacles of the natural world. Yet, now, their very survival is at risk’ Sir David Attenborough
Intent on one thing and one thing alone getting up stream to their spawning place – David Abrams
