Through progressions of vocal callings accompanied by live melodies and choreographies, this work pays homage to a series of conversations facilitated by Mele and the living archive.

The conversations serve as a guidance in reconnecting with natural sources; reflects on our bodies undergoing change influenced by constructs of time and the environment; and foregrounds the relationship between health and embodiment practices that centres individuals’ diasporic interpretations of well-being.

through warm temperatures is about affirming past beliefs in castor oil: a natural remedy, an elixir, and an historic and abundant natural source that transcends categorisation and boundaries. 

This work Has flexible venue options and a series of models of presentation that offers solo, duet and group dances working in collaborating with Mele Broomes and Simone Seals
