In this new work, Bryant weaves together animations, filmed dance movement and her own live performance to express a personal journey of healing and transformation. Through mindful illustration and movement tools inspired by the movement of water and atua wāhine (female deities / ancestors), Pūheke - meaning to flow - is an expression of Louise’s mauri (life force) evolving and transforming over time.
