The Water Music Dance, is a traditional practice of the women from Gaua Island.
‘The music and dances evoke the sounds their ancestresses have lived with for thousands of years. The crescent formation reflects the way the women have worked standing in a semi-circle at the water’s edge, or in the river, washing and bathing and collecting shellfish.’ -Worldmusiccentral.org
The Water Dance has prompted me to explore the use of water as an instrument to evoke an immersive state of mind, similar to that used in traditional meditative techniques.
