Lorin Sookool
PRAYER ROOM

This is an audio-visual response to the lived realities of three senior citizens based in Durban during Covid-I9. The work traces a visual and choreographic response to a two-month telephonic research process. It imagines each conversation as a moment of strength and solace experienced by both Sookool and each of the three ladies. Similarly, Sookool experiences comfort through the creation act, in and amongst unused church pews, during this difficult global moment.

Lorin Sookool graduated with a Bachelor of Music in Dance from the University of Cape Town in 2013. Before going independent, she was employed by The Playhouse Company in Durban and The Forgotten Angle Theatre Collaborative in Mpumalanga. Her interests reach beyond choreography and performance into the broader realms of the role and position of the artist in society.
