The Motherhood Series
Three performances (so far!) responding to Motherhood.
Belly
A limited-time-only-for-obvious-reasons piece about impending life shifts and births and rebirths and stuff.
Performed at “Liquid Consciousnes” - a collaboration with Wardrobe Productions (a tiny West-End theatre inside a wardrobe) and James Oldham.
Also performed at Fools Moon cabaret night.

New Mama’s Recital
A classical song cycle duet with my own labour audio. Birth is painful and beautiful and terrifying and glorious and I wanted to capture that.
Featuring breast milk.
Performed as part of the Babes in Arms artist mother collective gallery opening, Big Yin Gallery, St Leonards-on-sea.

12 Months
A response to the first year of Motherhood.
I collected baby grows that people no longer wanted or couldn’t pass on, and built a costume in which the tired Mother cowers as she carries her baby-dictator who she can’t help but love fiercely.
Performed at the launch of the Babes in Arms collective exhibition at the De La Warr Pavilion.
