An embodied exploration of the archetype of water as an energy to guide the movements of a danced improvisation, that expresses the idea of hybridity, displacement, uprooting, constant flux, and therefore illustrating the experience of my own identity research.
A research on ancestral data as imprinted in diasporic bodies, that celebrates the cross- Atlantic interrelations between Oshun (Yoruba Orisha of love, femininity and sensuality), the Jamaican legends of River Mumas, along with dancehall culture and its female dance moves.
Work inspired from readings of Paul Gilroy and Stuart Hall, along with diasporic longing. The poetry is read by my grandmother, and names dancehall steps that I perform. An ode to our conversations around the Jamaican national dish she cooks for me.
