SHORE, SEA & LAND-LINES (2023) 
COLLABORATION WITH SURFACE AREA DANCE THEATRE 

Surface Area's Director/Choreographer Nicole Vivien Watson and collaborator/Sound Artist Tom White present a short film documenting their residency in Ise, Japan (January 2023) and time spent with the Ise Ondo Folk Dance Society and members of Ise's d/Deaf community. The film offers a glimpse into participants' experience of feeling, for the first time, ancient sounds captured from live recordings of Ise heritage instruments then translated to vibration - via wearable technology, predominantly SUBPACS.

This residency was made possible with support from British Council Japan and Ise City Council.
