Coming soon: The Impossible Has Already Happened

As big as the ocean and as basic as everyday life.

The Impossible Has Already Happened is an international co-production between Footnote New Zealand Dance and Mascall Dance (Canada). Choreographers Claire O’Neil and Jennifer Mascall explore the power, purpose and necessity of water, and the human relationship to it.

This work is sustained through dialogue with artists and community leaders to remember our origin stories and discuss the critical role water plays in our current Climate Change crisis. Through dance, film projections, spoken narratives, interactive installations, and immersive kinesthetic performance, this work takes on a multitude of relationships to water in its power to sustain, nourish, dazzle or disrupt our planet. It draws parallels to our flowing lives, to stagnated situations, and presence of being.

Touring New Zealand in early 2023. Eight performers, two co-choreographers, two countries and many threads of exploration.
