Dance/ performance artists Eline Pérès and Tessa Waite perform a series of pieces that question our relationship to the body and environment.
About
This Womens History Month, come along to Bermondsey Project Space for an evening of contemporary dance and live art from Eline Pérès and Tessa Waite.
Inspired by philosopher Merleau-Ponty who stated “I do not have a body, I am my body”*, Eline and Tessa play with movement, fabric and Olga the skeleton in a night of boundary-pushing performance.
Enjoy solo and duo performances that question the relationship between the body and the environment through the medium of dance.
