We are making a show about mothering. A show that speaks about what it is really like, and what it has been like for us. It must be beautiful, visually and sonically, and cut through the crap to touch people deeply. They must leave having learnt something, about mothers, mothering and themselves.

We know there will be music - lullabies in particular. I would like us to write our own music, that starts as single voices and then has rock bass lines and is loud. It’s all very full of emotion and sung by women.

We will perform in this show. There will be live musicians, everyone on stage will make music (including the audience?)

There will be repetitive physical material that rocks and swings.
​
We are making it with mothers of different backgrounds and choices. We don’t know if they help to shape it or are in it or are the audience, or all of these - we will find out together.

We will use important and groundbreaking writing and research from sociologists, journalists, paediatricians and midwives, and invite these people into the process.

Get in touch if you would like to join us!
