Inspired by the need to be both visible and yet slip away at the same time and be somewhere else. The work represents a moment in which Scotland realised that Coronavirus was a far reaching problem with longer term repercussions than originally imagined. Phased Isolation was based initially on exercises from Katrina McPherson's Screen dance course supported by Dance Base in 2020. Originally from Australia, Penny Chivas is a dance artist based in Glasgow.

It explores myths and folklore about female creatures that are in some way associated with water as well as rituals involving water as a means of purification/blessing/afterlife. Through my research I have began a journey to find and reconnect with my roots and discover what femininity means to me."
