In these changing times, sorrow is something we have to learn to give to.  

As a species - the layers we face are many.

 

A PECULIAR SHADE OF BLUE is a sequence of six short films to chart a spacious and rhythmic journey through the nature of grief in our times.  

 

They carry intent to open out its language as an essential and natural part of the human experience. . . to dissolve taboo around its expression, so we can better understand its role in renewal. 

​

Through the lens of DEEP TIME, the human form in motion against the achingly beautiful landscape of the Cornish coast casts a stark mirror to the intimate, yet forgotten connection between human and earth. 

​

ROWAN JACQUELINE entwines solo performance with the land, poetry and music as each film works in isolation, yet together combine as a complete experience. 

​

Here, the audience are invited to enter a process of exploration within a structure that hopes to create enough space between SLOW CINEMA and the rough hands of sorrow to find connection beyond isolation.

​

​

Written and directed by Rowan Jacqueline, creative facilitation from Henry McGrath, A PECULIAR SHADE OF BLUE is intended to work as an experimental piece with potential to combine live inter-disciplinary performance at a later stage.
