Re-Writing stories. The pandemic has thrown a spotlight on our notion of space, how we define it, and the tensions that come with defining it. It has forced us into a ‘new normal’, where we simply have to embrace the rules and restrictions placed upon us to protect ourselves and each other to ensure our collective health and safety. We navigate through these new challenges in our choreography and tell stories of you and me — Us, as we tread the familiar and the unfamiliar. Encapsulating the idea of different chapters within a human’s sense of belonging, Re:Writing explores two disparate chapters: Home & Chaos.

When we pay attention, we realise that everything that arises will inevitably pass away. So I question: where is the start and where is the end to an occurrence? Is it important, or does the momentum of an existence flow regardless? If we experience carefully the transition of a moment, we begin to notice the very nature of its occurrence. The more we notice and reflect, the more beautiful reality can be for us.

As mentioned above, we are challenged in many ways. and I aim to show our resiliency and/or struggles of getting through it.
