Description Celebrates Pacific Island women and the importance of the sea in their daily routine. Press Release: Western News 22/10/03 Using a vocabulary of movement that deconstructs the Pacific dance form with its softly beguiling hands, swaying hips and poses of statuesque beauty, Nawalowalo creates sequences of Butoh-like intensity for the three dancer-actors….The women are performing throughout in a shallow pool of water.
