The Secret Life of Bees
The Secret Life of Bees were two musical performances with Meet Me at the Albany and the Rachel Macmillan Nursery, both based in Deptford. Carline had worked with Sacha Thomas and Rachel Gildea to create a 20-minute song, movement and spoken word performance based on the life of bees with flamboyant costume and props.
The performance was also shown at the local arts festival Deptford X during September 2019 and at The Albany, on Tuesday 29th October,
This project was in collaboration with Meet Me at the Albany and The Rachel MacMillan Nursery.
Schedule: Sat 23 Nov, 7 Dec, 3pm.
