Welcome to until the water is clear, a website  designed to convey  the many facets of my artistic expression. Ibeshe Tchula, a conjurer. I am also Anna Beatrice Scott, a cultural/performance theorist. I work in various media and modes, with a special emphasis on the kinetic. I enjoy producing investigative works that provoke further inquiry and performance.  My focus is multiple for these pages, but I  have posted this site with the desire to book more performances. lectures, workshops and now, workings.

As a conjurer, I am very interested in the old timey ways of wrapping one's mind around a situation to produce a solution or series of possibilities.  Repetition. Cycles. Circles. Tides. Calling. Responding. Coding. Ciphering. Spelling. A lot of my work is influenced by or in discussion with sacred texts from many of my ancestral lines. I am hybrid, though easily recognized as a Black woman. I have come to understand myself as (minimally) Gaelic Afro Indian.  You may laugh.  It is a joke.

I particularly enjoy pushing the boundaries of race, racialism, racism with radical love. No one can know what's at the bottom of the sea, so who's to argue with the parameters of our existence?

Please dive in and swim around.  If you know you belong here, in the flow of her darkness as it draws upon the hind leg of clarity, then click here, for further instructions.  Good tidings, one and all.
