I have begun doing research on flood stories and have been thinking about their place within this process and performance. The flood myth found in many cultures is a story of redemption, a taking back of something that the deities perceived to be lost. After a literal or metaphorical flood, there is a rebirth. I am considering using text from a flood story to provide context for the work. The following Bible versus is resonating with me now:
"on that day all the springs of the great deep burst forth, and the floodgates of the heavens were opened." Genesis 7:11
When in our lives have we felt flooded? How do we process these moments where our internal landscape has radically shifted as a result of external events? How can we use our movement practice as a way of receiving and accepting these events and giving voice to their significance?
