The Ticking Clock is a South Asian contemporary-classical dance performance that centres on the urgency of climate change. This performance is supported by Climateclock.world and is inspired by their Climate Clock installation located in Times Square, New York that illustrates the time remaining before climate change becomes irreversible. Using the countdown as the main driver for the performance and drawing from the movement archives of elements traditionally used in South Asian classical dance forms to depict nature, the performers will submerge the audience in an introspective recount of how humankind's relationship with the environment has changed over time. The practices depicted and explored in the choreography have emerged from a process of research and development where the artists immersed themselves in exploring their own cultural, historical and personal relationships to the natural world. 

The development of this project was supported by The Work Room, Glasgow and The National theatre of Scotland through their Discover residencies.
