this past week in Fiji: touching my ancestors emigration passes from India to Fiji, market scenes, puja objects and cooking tools that girmitiya carried onboard the jahajis, the place of my mothers childhood home, my mama remembering a home by the roadside, mountains, my mami’s home cooking, little me in my nani’s house, & the ocean that remembers.

For the Experimental Choreographic Practice Residency with @performancespace and @critical_path_ I developed a new choreographic work for artist @katybplummer upcoming work Even a Colossus.

Using the premise that gestures and movements can act as a form of sigil spell work, performers @lucy_doherty @sezannesvoid @louie_rachael_rachael_louie and I developed sets of spells to locate violence living in the body, to metabolise it and finally to protect the self and imagine futures.

These spells will act as a vocabulary for the performers to draw upon as the full choreographic work is developed for the hour long video opera Even a Colossus.

A huge thanks to the teams at Performance Space and Critical Path for making this residency possible, for all of your belief in the project and on the ground support.

This development wouldn’t have been possible without the care, energy and generosity of the performers Lucy Doherty, Suzanne Claridge and Louie Wisby. I cannot thank you enough.

Thank you again and again and again to Katy B Plummer for bringing me into your world and creating such a colossus project to collaborate within.

#wip / There is a photograph of my Nani’s wedding day that I think about often. My Nani and Dada are standing outside a timber house in Fiji. The photograph is tinted a noxious green. Behind them, a verandah is filled with children. They all stare out to the camera. The harsh sunlight cast deep shadows on their faces.

In this photograph, my Nani is 14.

I think about different ways of sharing images. The repetitions and renditions. How to capture the nuances, whispers, silences. Painting them, I pass through the surface. I enter the scene. Witnessing. by @sezannesvoid
