This is Me, Trying to Communicate looks at the concept of Lingua Franca, a language that is adopted and used systematically to make communication possible between people who do not share a native language.

It explores the communicative power of the dancing body as one such language. The performers play with the buoyant space between the abstract and the concrete; linking movement to spoken language, decoding and physicalising aural utterings, translating vocal dynamics into dynamic movement conversations.

This is me, trying to communicate.

This is me, talking to you in a language that you do not speak and yet you understand.

This is me, taking borrowed words and making them my own.

This is me, threading the edges of conversation.

This is me, tasting the space between us.

This is me, tuning in,

Tuning in to you.
