through warm temperatures affirms castor oil’s legacy as a natural remedy, an elixir, and a historic source that transcends boundaries. This performance takes you on a journey of reconnection with nature and the body. Weaving vocals and dance, the work shifts from meditative gestures to unfiltered expression building towards self-acceptance. Mele Broomes’ choreography and vocals, with Simone Seales’ live cello and electronic soundscapes, merge as performers shift between solos, duos, and collective movement. Moving towards a place of warmth. Inviting release.
This work is BSL integrated.
