Description

NICOLA HUNTER - Lost BodiesOctober 7th Doors - 8:30pm Performance - 9:00pm £6

Her body transpired into the darkness that day. Her last breath grew wings: pulling the soul from beneath her bones to the next life. Grief births a visceral journey, which swells and tears the skin, spitting you out onto barren lands. There was death and it took me with it. 'Within every woman there is a wild and natural creature, a powerful force, filled with good instincts, passionate creativity, and ageless knowing. Her name is Wild Woman, but she is an endangered species. The wildish nature comes to us at birth, society's attempt to "civilize" us into rigid roles has plundered this treasure, and muffled the deep, life-giving messages of our own souls. Without Wild Woman, we become over-domesticated, fearful, uncreative, trapped' (Clarissa Pinkola Estes).

This new performance is the first few breaths of a new life, with a new voice, in new flesh. In 'Lost Bodies'- artist Nicola Hunter will be celebrating loss as a strengthening process, a metamorphosis and a return to the wild.

LOST BODIES is developed with Tempting Failure Festival 2016, Live Art Bistro, Colchester Arts Centre. Additional funding provided by Arts Council England.
