A whale falls to the darkest depths. Once animal, now host, its carcass slowly decays, providing sustenance to alien ecosystems.  Its matter is distributed through multiple pathways, intercepting in a spontaneous unfolding of divergent, yet equal, parts.

Choreographer and dancer Rebecca Jensen (OVERWORLD, Deep Soulful Sweats), along with a large ensemble of performers, attempts to reimagine systems and conditions required for change. In a porous, fluid and volatile reality, a mass comes together to prioritise transition and transformation.Deep Sea Dances unfolds as structures weaken and a new ecology emerges.

In a world whose future remains uncertain, Deep Sea Dances looks for hope, drawing us away from the mainland, past the beach and into the abyss.
