An algal bloom (water bloom) is a rapid increase in accumulation in the population of algae in freshwater or marine water system, and is recognised by the discolouration of its surrounding water from their pigment. Translated to dance, it encapsulates the choreographer attempt to capture the fleeting moment in which Man and nature arrive at a harmonious union.
A meditation on Man’s relationship with nature.
Whether hopeful or hopeless, it is a conscious choice Man must make to live on in a fragile ecosystem.
Water Bloom was originally commissioned by NUS Arts Festival 2009. This work has toured France, Italy, Poland, Denmark and China.
