SHALLOW WATER WAVES

JUNE 2022



A live trio performance, partially improvised and partially choreographed, Shallow Water Waves uses expansive, delicate movement, spoken word and an other-worldly soundscape to confront existing norms with a willingness, certainty and insistence for change. It premiered at The Place as part of Resolutions festival 2022. The work was devised at SET Woolwich.

Shallow Water Waves is a celebration of soft power. Three dancers invite, support, uplift and love, indulging in their desires as bodies of water, of nymph-like playing anchored amongst real-life experiences. Let us queer our listening towards the quiet voices. We are powerfully and truthfully being soft in a hardened world. Yet bellflowers break through pavement tiles, and tsunamis are caused by shallow-water waves.

“To be soft is to be powerful” - Rupi Kaur
