Deep Time, Shallow Water, This (approximately) ten mile round trip is for the over 50s (like myself) and local landowners, and focuses upon exploring land-locked terrain that sits below sea level, collecting submersive testimonies, walking As if...ankle deep. Place names on the preliminary route evoke a Saxon landscape heritage where Mump and Zoy refer to islands, and Andersea offers a highly descriptive accented view. The route is as follows: Burrow Mump - down Barrow Lane to Broad Drain to Henleys Farm to Aquaduct, along the River Parret to Raymonds Farm, to and through Andersea to Westonzoyland, to Langmead Drove via Disused Airfield, to Middlezoy, down Holloway Road to Othery, over the A361 to Pathe, to War Moor and back to Burrow Mump. Conversations focus upon experiences of flooding.

from within a Japanese practice called suriashi (which translates as ‘creeping/rubbing/sliding foot’).
It is based on my own extensive practicing and performing traditional Japanese dance with Nishikawa Senrei,
and Japanese theatre with masters of Nō theatre. I take the role of a female urban walker, an actor/observer,
a flâneuse walking in a female-to-male-to-female technique. In a second step I investigate how this slow practice operates
when moved to outdoor, urban spaces
Suriashi involves the whole body and ideas of where spirits are placed. In studio practice, dancers walk slowly forwards
in suriashi, but we lean backwards, directing their inner concentration to the appearance of movements from behind
while being fully present in the space - almost literally the scientific view of time: a linear progression of past, present and future.
Cheers from Sweden!
