Bodies of Water - SOLD OUT

25 April 2025

BOW Collective present Bodies of Water

"By swimming in the sea I cross the normal boundaries. I’m no longer on land but part of the bodyof water making up all the oceans of the world”.Amy Liptrot, The Outrun

Bodies of Water is a playful, multi-sensory performance experience weaving together movement,choreography, water, objects and sound. We encounter water in our everyday lives - through ourbodies 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.

“For unnumbered years it has welled from the rock and flowed away. It does nothing, absolutely nothing, but be itself.”Nan Shepherd, The Living Mountain

Suitable for 8 years and above. Babes in Arms are welcome. 

 

 

 

 

Bodies of Water is made and performed by a collective of artists including Saffy Setohy (choreographer/ performer), Aya Kobayashi (choreographer/ performer), Nicolette Macleod (musician/ sound designer), Laura Bradshaw (performer) and Simon Kenyon (performer)
