One Foot in the Dark

‘One Foot in the Dark’ is a collaboration between a dancer and a poet, and is an exploration of our known and unknown experiences of identity, culture and change through text and movement. The answers we are often looking for are waiting on the other side of discomfort, challenging norms and old stories from the past. This inter-disciplinary collaboration looks at the ways in which movement and language in their various forms can come together to facilitate a creative outlet for all the stories that we carry.

In a world where we are many things at the same time, how do we say the things we want to say but cannot? What valuable information is lost in translation when language and our bodies are telling different stories? How do we break out of the boxes that we are put into? The work is an exploration of different genders, cultures, and artistic practices understanding connection in a home away from home.

It comprises a double bill of a solo ‘The Skeleton is White’ and duet ‘Six Degrees from Home’, both honest explorations of two artists from the global majority understanding what it means to navigate through life, questions and unknowns.
