Honouring divine feminine energy ‘Shakti’, Garbh embodies the source of life, force of transformation, and essence of motherhood.
The ensemble, orbiting a lit, central clay lantern that signifies life within the womb, explores themes of community, creation, resilience, and unity, transforming public spaces into vibrant sites of shared celebration and embodied ritual.

Here’s some more detail about what to expect with each track:
- Track 1 gives context about the piece and can be listened to at any time before the show
- Track 2 speaks about the dancers pre-setting on stage (in silence). This can be played straight after track 1.
- Track 3 is the AD of the piece, and the cue to start this is the stage music starting to play.
