BOW Collective presents Bodies of Water (Macphail Centre)

Saffy Setohy and the BOW Collective presents Bodies of Water:

a playful, multi-sensory performance experience weaving together movement, choreography, water, objects and sound. We encounter water in our everyday lives - through our bodies and environment. Bodies of Water invites us to immerse ourselves in a unique performance experience, as we explore and celebrate this transformative element that connects all living things.

Bodies of Water was originally created by Aya Kobayashi, Nicolette Macleod, Saffy Setohy & Joanna Young.

This production will be performed by Saffy Setohy and Laura Bradshaw.

Our need for water connects us to all other living things. Underpinning the making of Bodies of Water is a belief that if we can connect to and inhabit the realities of our bodies and experiences, we will relate to and more easily consider our environment, our communities and the challenges that we face. Bodies of Water is an invitation to immerse yourselves in a celebration and exploration of our essential and complex relationship to this element. 

Here is a taster of the performance (Vimeo)

During the performance you will be invited make a little clay pot and also to help pour water between vessels. You are welcome to be involved if you like, or not; it’s fine just to watch.
