Shadowy, and indistinct.
Passing moments in our lives when people and places blur, seeping across boundaries, and transforming into something else entirely.
Obscura explores the joy and confusion of encounters as people drift in and out of our lives. Can you recall the first time you met someone? Or even notice the last time you saw them?
Obscura is a 20-minute dance film created in September 2024 during a Shawbrook Residential Creative Space Residency
Choreography by Pelican Theatre
Performers: Ellie Bates, Malachi Briant, Pagan Hunt, Jack Richardson, Jemma Stein.
