In associateion with saltpeter and supported by the Facility: research centre for creative practice, Anna Sulan Masing presents: An exploration into the women’s stories of migration and creating home and belonging, this is the final show for Anna's practice based PhD. This exploration has been developed through the language of the performance practices of Iban women, in particular the dancing and a style of performance poetry known as pantun. The Iban performance practice has migrated from the jungle, to urban areas, and globally, and the identity of that practice has developed as the locations have changed. Much like the women performing them. The Iban are an indigenous tribe of Borneo. Anna is am half Iban. These journeys of identity through spaces and exploring the un-researched field of Iban women’s performance, has a particular interest to her. This is an investigation of personal importance, which has wider consequences in understanding the world we live in. From the jungle is a full-length performance, which is born from this research. From the jungle is a dance poem, where the rhythms of movement echo the rhythms of words. Tuesday 22 May 2012 - Saturday 26 May 2012 Victoria Vaults, 82 Great Eastern Street, London EC2A 3JF
