**Paid Dance Opportunity**

Funded by Arts Council England, Tree of Life is aimed at children aged 7+ and explores the cultural significance of trees in the East and the West. Drawing inspiration from Buddha attaining enlightenment under a Bodhi (fig) tree in India and Newton discovering gravity from an apple tree in the UK, Tree of Life weaves a tale of how these two events lead to a deepening of human understanding, spiritually and scientifically.
