There is a shipwreck in my bones
by Lisa May Thomas
Synopsis:
This work stems from a collection of writing and poetry by the artist inspired by stories of the sea.
Grit my teeth, clench my fingers and toes
My body grieves, my heart nothing
There is a shipwreck in my bones
From both afar and from within the intimate spaces of the dancers, a series of movement conversations are set against the backdrop of the sea. Time and states shifts from one scene to another and moments of contact and tenderness are juxtaposed with a sense of solitude.
Thanks to Dan Canham, Laura Dannequin and Beth Powlesland (Performers), Razaka Firmager (Camera)
