Ocean in me (or how to build an arc?)

After a three week residency at the Mime Fabriek I am showing the outcome of my new work during Kick Off on 24/25/26th of September.

I perform several times in different combinations with the two other lovely residents.

Ocean in me

They say that the water is coming. So I looked it up. If the dikes break, my house (in this street, in this city, in this country under sea level) will be three meters underwater.

I need to build an arc. But how to do that, when I am just a drop in this ocean called life?

Ocean in me is a research on how to see the performance itself as an arc. To move us out of a place of avoidance/ overwhelm/ drowning, into a place of connected presence. To unpeel the layers of the complex into a place of playful wonder. Letting myths, music and poetry come with new possible answers. 

Text, music, movement, performance: Leela May Stokholm
