Somewhen Survival Society

Somewhen Survival Society is a commissioned event for rural communities, created with the Island’s food sector and touring South Wight village halls. Rooted in local produce, folklore and the landscape, the project culminates in a shared feast made from foraged and Island-grown food.

Developed with the Biosphere Steering Group and Island Deanery, the work invites communities to explore Island particularity, future actions and collective imagination. Drawing on a history of inventive village-hall theatre and inspired by the success of The Syrian Baker, the event blends performance, dining, song and storytelling, all threaded through the mythic hook of “The Swaning”.
