Saffy Setohy & BOW Collective presents 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 performanceexperience, 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, absolutelynothing, but be itself.”Nan Shepherd, The Living Mountain
Only 25 spaces avaliable, advanced booking advised.
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)
“Evocative, primal and really beautiful ... serves as a gentle reminder to us of our small place inthe vast world, but also, of our sharing, care and interconnectivity.”Fjord Review
Bodies of Wateris a collaborative, interdisciplinary and participatory performance project weavingtogether choreography, sound, visual art and participatory practices.
Initiated by Saffy Setohy in 2018,Bodies of Waterhas been made collectively by Saffy, NicoletteMacleod, Aya Kobayashi and Joanna Young, bringing together these respective artists’ practicesand ongoing research areas.
Underpinning the making of Bodies of Wateris a belief that if we can connect to and inhabit therealities of our bodies and experiences, we will relate to and more easily consider ourenvironment, our communities and the challenges that we face.
Bodies of Water is an invitation to immersive yourselves in a celebration and exploration of ouressential and complex relationship to this element. Our need for water connects us to all otherliving things.
For the 2025 tour, the performers are:
Saffy Setohy,
Nicolette Macleod,
Aya Kobayashi,
SimoneKenyon and Laura Bradshaw.
