SAXYN Dance Works

SEOLH

The piece I am developing entitled “seolh” is based on the myth of the "selkies", mythic sea creatures, half woman, half seal, that I believe embody the human quest for freedom. The work investigates the ties that bind us both natural and constructed and the often painful journey of discovery that brings to light our true identity, full of resilience and freedom. Further inspired by the seductive power of the songs associated with folklore creatures, the piece will include live and recorded music, composed and sung by Bre Short. Half of the piece is completed.
