About the work


landed; I trace
shifting states

streaming memory
I break through reflection
to find my myths

s o l i l o q u y is a durational installation; it is an immersive environment, a place where personal mythologies unravel through a tactile arrival in the geology of Cornwall.

A collage of sound and moving image, the work invites you to trace your own way through fractured constellations of body and place.

Created in reference to Virginia Woolf’s experimental play-poem, The Waves, s o l i l o q u y is performed by Cornwall-based dance artist Saffy Setohy, and created in collaboration with an exciting new collective of artists including composer Nick Mott, video artist Charlotte Jackman-Bloom, and dramaturg Alicia Grace.

the s o l i l o q u y installation environment is a space for reflection, embodied experience and contemplation.

this project is supported by Arts Council England, University College Falmouth, The Works Dance and Theatre Cornwall and Dance Southwest.

Some audience comments from this event:

....drew me in very naturally, and it changed very gradually from being something beautiful to having a more unsettling nature


calming, strangely remote from the business and clutter outside the room, a sanctuary for contemplation

a strong sensory experience, full of textures and tactile images
