Bodies of Water 2022 – 2023

Bodies of Water is a site-responsive, immersive, and audience participatory performance. The work examines our lifelong relationship to the sea as a place of nourishment, danger, and transcendence. Artists Katerina Kokkinos-Kennedy and Sarah Walker created the work for Eastern Beach in Geelong, during a year-long residency at Platform Arts.

AUDIENCE RESPONSES

We were so deeply moved by the show last night. We spent hours talking about what we had heard, learned, and felt.

The writing, the ideas, and the journey were thrilling. Was that stuff about the moon actually true?

My mum was not feeling great before the show, but afterwards I could see that she had lit up because of her experience.
