Projects and works informed by research into the historical dance contexts of limbo. Early iterations of the dance were performed as a ritual at wakes in Trinidad & Tobago, and it's said to have its origins in the middle passage. The methodologies evident in the dance and its histories have become a framework for survival strategies and a grounding for an exploration of refusal, recollection and rebirth.
