Pink Blossoms on the sea

Screams are silenced as the panicked movement of arms and legs freeze.

Convulsion ends.

Fever is suppressed.

Pen wails: twenty-three withered cherry blossoms on the page are staring back.  

The sea is inhaled by pink blooms.

This is the introduction that I wrote for the Tragedy-pickers piece, as part of DIPACT's response (Sombre Dreams) to Isaac Julien's Ten Thousands Waves 23 Chinese cockle pickers tragically died at Morecambe bay. 
The performance took place at the Whitworth Art Gallery on 21 June 2018.

Tragedy-pickers

21 June, 6-9pm. Free

Come and listen to the letters that Breeze has given to Cherry blossom to read.

It is an honour to use my writing to remember the 23 Chinese cockle pickers who tragically died at Morecambe bay. So many times I walked into the Whitworth Art Gallery and was amazed by the exhibitions there. This time I will be amongst the groups performing there.  

I'll be performing my Tragedy-pickers piece, as part of DIPACT's response (Sombre Dreams work in progress) to Isaac Julien's Ten Thousands Waves. It would be nice to see some of you there. It's a free event.

Multi artform presentation of ‘Sombre Dreams’ by DIPACT, a new commission by the Whitworth and ArtReach.
