Mending Nets
Palestinian poet/dancer Nada Shawa and Scottish storyteller/dancer Janis Mackay build a bridge of friendship through an evocative fusion of dance, poetry and storytelling. Mending Nets puts forward the simple and radical belief that the act of sharing stories and poetry from our lands can help people retrieve an unravelled sense of identity. The performers first met on the dancefloor. Together they have nourished a symbiotic relationship where Nada's wheelchair is integral to her dance, woven so that the chair becomes invisible and her movement complements Janis's words and stories. Originally commissioned for the Scottish International Storytelling Festival 2024.
