A young black woman lies back on a dark stage, leaning on a small box or suitcase and looking upwards. She wears light trousers and a colourful tracksuit jacket.

Presented in collaboration with DanceEast.

Choreographed and performed by Alethia Antonia, Inscribed in ‘Me’ is a dance performance that uses movement, voice, and music to explore both personal and historical experiences of feminine blackness and self-authorship.

It is a journey of self-discovery and healing; both deeply personal and universal.

Brendan Keaney, Artistic Director of DanceEast, described Alethia to us as ‘an amazing technician with an extraordinary stage presence,’ so we are delighted to work with him to introduce Alethia to SPILL audiences.

After their performance, Alethia joined SPILL Artistic Director Robin Deacon onstage for a discussion about their work.
