i am finally in love with the world
As part of the 2024 Scarlet Mela Festival of the Arts (SMFA) and led by Ranice, we presented this piece as a response to the integration of Taiji and Theatre / Dance
Inspired by the heart sutra, this piece was created with the inspiration of trying to understand what “emptiness” meant. The devising process led to the team observing how a flower dies and creating a movement based theatrical piece that incorporated elements of time, death and love.
The devising continues in June 2024 where this piece will be presented once more as part of the Artist-In-Residence programme with the Intercultural Theatre Institute (ITI)

“Your concept and the depth of thought that went behind it was absolutely stunning. Huge kudos.”
“I loved the maturity in your process of questioning. Your piece reflect clearly your theme. Kudos to you.”
“I appreciate that you shared that you experience imposter syndrome, it feels like a natural insecurity of many artists because true artistic work is so vulnerable... but your connection to yourself, your deep curious nature and your fearless emotion is evident in every movement. Who’s defining what dance is…Very inspiring work!!!!”
“Love the concept of emptiness and the concept of time”
“Very good work!!!
Incorporating Taiji philosophy into art work”
“Your presentation reminds me of Bruce Lee philosophy in his martial art, be water”
“Love the concept of emptiness and the concept of time”
