Dictations - The Heart of the Sea 🫀🪸

Inspired by To My Coral Bones by Grace Nichols, the piece moves like the tide, reflecting on inheritance and what is carried across generations. It unfolds as an imagined island made together, breathing with slow, patient currents that carry fragments of story, sensation, and feeling beyond the individual body.

This premiere introduces the company’s unfolding vision, bringing a sensorial, embodied performance language to Scotland’s stages.

Featuring Performing Artists:
Kemono Lebe-Riot
Salma Francoise

“Being part of a dance company was an early dream of mine, but through my experiences within dance spaces, and how my body was perceived, I began thinking more deeply about the kinds of artistic environments I wanted to help create instead.”

Thank you to everyone who joined us, who listened, and who shared the space. 💐

Dictations was held together through body, sound, and presence.
Something shifted, quietly and collectively, in ways we are still sitting with.

We are grateful.
