Plum walks through the muckiest and murkiest water possible, letting each step feel as weighted and lulled as if dumbbells pulled each movement back. After all, murky is exactly how the water remains in Flint, Michigan. CULLUD WATTAH, the world premiere play by Erika Dickerson-Despenza and directed by Candis C. Jones at The Public Theater, sits in on the lives of a family of Black women in Flint, Michigan, who grow more concerned every day that their water supply remains dirty. As illnesses fester and a class action lawsuit arises, each person seeks their own way out. Movement Director Adesola Osakalumi shares how water informed the movement that made every scene more fluid and powerful. Steven Vargas: One of the first things that came to mind was there's a lot of movement there behind the language. Can you tell me how you were able to utilize that language to put the movement on stage? Adesola Osakalumi: I feel like Erika writes in such a visual way. In that regard, it made certain things easier because there was such a clear guideline as to how to address and how to approach it. I wanted to be naturalistic, and not move like traditional choreography. The play does have Afro-surrealist and Afro-futurist components, so there are dream-like elements. We played around a lot with suspension of time and small task-based gestures in terms of what the characters are trying to say throughout the course of the piece. But I wanted to do justice to what Erika wrote. She wrote something really beautiful and moving and a lot of what myself and my associate — who’s also my partner, Jill Vallery — really wanted to honor was the water concept. It’s about water, so a lot of the things that we did had water as a base. As we know, water adapts and morphs. It can be heated up and evaporate into steam and then become solid again, turning into ice, making it movable. So we used water and its elements to control how the characters move through the space….READ MORE https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607dab1cacafb4379b0e9b84/9256cd0f-ccde-49ee-94e0-2f0c5c07e2ed/WhatsApp+Image+2024-06-24+at+9.13.57+PM.jpg Choreographer - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607dab1cacafb4379b0e9b84/f29ceb53-a498-43e9-b4cc-abb452abfcaf/SKELETON_CREW_S_0269_PJZEDIT_v001s-scaled.jpg Choreographer - This Double-Billed Performer/Choreographer Is Bringing a Surprising Amount of Dance to Broadway’s Newest Play Lauren Wingenroth The 2nd Annual Antonyo Awards Nominations https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607dab1cacafb4379b0e9b84/e53118ee-8c3c-483c-a43b-a4accb5d7b73/1920_public_web_upcoming_553x381_v1_553x381_coal.png Choreographer - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://adesola.com/contact daily 0.75 2021-09-08 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607dab1cacafb4379b0e9b84/1631046997130-1D2PQF7UIVVBB4LJCIWY/Gersh Contact - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607dab1cacafb4379b0e9b84/1630103346330-IALS1FYIZUN1E1XO6LX9/Lakey+Wolff Contact - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://adesola.com/press daily 0.75 2024-07-01 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607dab1cacafb4379b0e9b84/1625154644591-490QH6JWUX8Z2IUDZT47/OverPage-0.jpg Press https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607dab1cacafb4379b0e9b84/1625154985217-I51OFSJBDJ96QJXEMA0D/OverPage-0+2.png Press https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607dab1cacafb4379b0e9b84/1630081436038-9PPXYZJWC30UEFLTG8JL/Jamica.png Press https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607dab1cacafb4379b0e9b84/1630081568866-CEW821I0GP6PE13F6DGD/3.png Press https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607dab1cacafb4379b0e9b84/1630082239832-GYOATF588U8ZTL45D6M3/2.png Press https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607dab1cacafb4379b0e9b84/1644439247724-WSKDJ1Q3XNHUBXW0HRRR/Timeout-Magazine-Logo.png Press https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607dab1cacafb4379b0e9b84/1644439523367-VDEOHK9MOV0VA6GV93FD/Unknown-1.png Press https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607dab1cacafb4379b0e9b84/1644439867777-WOAH1LPEF8KTZIBPOMSU/Unknown-2.png Press https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607dab1cacafb4379b0e9b84/1644805494681-C674BGH8P5FI11ZA4O21/Screen+Shot+2022-02-13+at+9.09.11+PM.png Press https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607dab1cacafb4379b0e9b84/209ec581-73e5-44d9-9d30-5eaffe790786/GoDaddyStudioPage-0+4.png Press https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607dab1cacafb4379b0e9b84/de9b41e5-f12b-4125-9e21-c6796a915a35/GoDaddyStudioPage-0+4.png Press https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607dab1cacafb4379b0e9b84/628cb4a4-fb31-4efd-a708-4199021eeb83/Screenshot+2024-06-30+at+10.25.32%E2%80%AFPM.jpg Press https://adesola.com/bio daily 0.75 2021-08-30 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607dab1cacafb4379b0e9b84/1630075293774-8SU7WVKTP80TSCRBYRA8/AdeYellowSmile.jpg Bio - Adesola Osakalumi is an award-winning Actor, Choreographer, Creative Director, Singer, and Dancer.
