Concrete-Water-Flesh
Concrete-Water-Flesh is a six-year research project carried out in collaboration with Dr Helen Kindred and our company, DancingStrong Movement Lab. We called this period of collaboration together Concrete-Water-Flesh as it brought together my city work and Helen’s sea shore work, and our new collaboration, the flesh of us. Concrete-Water-Flesh began with our shared curiosity and concern for the multiple encounters both the city and shore were revealing through the Flesh of dancing there.
Over the six years, we created several outputs such as the performance work for young audiences SPLASH!, and the publication DancingPace: scores of the city, scores of the shore. Below are further works created during this time.
