PESCIE PROJECT
An ongoing project of dry-land synchronised swimming performances.
Colourful genderless dresses, face paint and other accessories combined with the improper use of synchronised swimming, produces a most desirable effect: liberation from social status. The PESCiE, free from age, gender or aspect requirements can and do swim anywhere. PESCiE are hybrid critters who have regained children bodies: intelligent, wilful, brave, funny, in play with others.
