AUTUMN 2022 TOUR
we are all capable of flooding a room
water pressure reshapes us
whether from ecstasy or sorrow; when swimming, we are held by crying that hasn’t happened yet
Fountain blends dance and digital watery environments to explore tidal cycles of repair, loss, bereavement, joy and intimacy. This powerful work draws on the symbolism and psycho-geography of water as inevitably linked to Black histories, embodiments, experiences and mental health.
This film is 28 minutes.
