Responding to the texture and properties of this regal stone, Amethyst is a mesmerising performance of visual and vocal vibrations by Glasgow-based choreographer and director Mele Broomes.
“We are part of a fragmented history which holds uncertainty for many but if we listen you can hear the realness that is being shared. We are part of a fragmented history which has various perspectives, truths and discoveries. We are part of a fragmented history and our experiences shape our conversation. This is a reflective space to listen and observe, to support self-integration and self-love”.
Broomes’s powerfully spiritual and inclusive work could not be more welcome
