We have a wonderful friend in Pastor Paul Otoko (Director of the Institute for Indigenous Studies). As a chief of the Micronesian people, and pastor to First Nation Peoples, he has taught us that God imparts to us from three directions- the sky, the earth, and the sea. He asked us to present a piece at the Deep Sea Canoe APPA Conference during the week of July 12-17, 2009. The story of Jonah immediately came to mind. I wanted to choreograph something with the sea as theme for a while now. This gave me a chance to develop a piece that would use images Pastor Otoko's Micronesian friends and all the other delegates would be familiar with.
I hope you enjoy this full length version of Jonah, performed by Theo & Jolie Williams and the students of Innovo Conservatory of Physical Theatre.
