Choreographer Anna Watkins presents OATH.
Three contemporary dance works, which includes a short dance film in collaboration with Film Oxford, funded by Arts Council England.
HUMAN ANIMAL
MRS OATH
SOLITUDE
"I do solemnly, sincerely and truly declare and affirm, that I will tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth."
The oppressor told me I do not have the right, The oppressor told me I am not equal, The oppressor told me this is the law.
From evolution theories transitioning into modern man to the equality of women. Our behaviours and instincts in society. Celebrating 100 years since women were able to vote. It's time we all made a change.
