Water Bodies
WATER BODIES is a collaborative digital-dance performance with social change at its heart.
It is a unique blend of dance, theatre, film, digital effects and live camera feed to re-connect the audience to everything ocean.
Compelling visuals and dance immerse the audience in a sensory experience of shared seaside memories, against a backdrop of concern for our seas and sea-life.
In Water Bodies, the wild freedom of the sea and the serene beauty of an underwater world clash with plastics and ignorance, in a fusion of water visuals and corporal dance-theatre.
Water Bodies is a reminder of both the ocean’s beauty and its fragility. It is both charmingly nostalgic and a stark warning of what it means to disregard our planet.

This is an ongoing project, which we hope we will be able to share in the near future.
Collaboration...
Ester has teamed up with Australian flamenco and contemporary-based performance-artist, Tomas Arroquero and award-winning digital artists, Martin Coyne and Jordi Robert to make this unique immersive ocean experience.
Sharing a background in flamenco dance with a particular interest in deconstructing its components – body and foot percussion and rhythmic motion – the dancers extract these flamenco elements and blend them with theatre and contemporary-orientated movement.
Martin and Jordi combine their film and digital skills and their shared passion for telling stories through their work, to bring Water Bodies to life, with a rich fabric of projection, interactive media and live camera feed.
This project is ongoing and we very much hope to share this experience with others, when the time is right.
