Hydropoetics

"We are watery bodies in constant motion. We flow with, seep into, and transform each other endlessly through sympoetic gestures. Both tidal and cyclical; a hydropoetics.

Hydropoetics is an ongoing research project into methods and poetic outcomes of composing- and performing-with site and more-than-human-bodies. Created in conversation and collaboration with Lake Gordon – a man-made reservoir in South West Tasmania – through performative engagement, the work explores tensions and reciprocities between watery bodies; human and more-than-human, personal and political, ecological and corporate.

This iteration of the work plays with speculative modes of scoring; translating the embodied memory of performance (held by human and lake), into externally tangible forms."
