this one-hour participatory performance piece offered a unique experience in the Tidal Pool at Devils Point, Plymouth, during Plymouth Art Weekender 2017. Benthic Caress was a gathering of about 75 people within the confines of the tidal pool, who all took part in a 'silent disco' where the soundtrack was a collection of specially curated sound pieces by local, national and international ecoacoustic artists, showcasing work which celebrates the diversity of marine life. Benthic Caress was a collaboration between Laura Denning, Take A Part and the contributing artists.
