M-Othering - by Chess Dillon-Reams

A fiercely physical, comedic and moving new live dance work, performed by an intergenerational cast of women and girls aged 11-76.

What is a mother?

"Well a mother, a real mother, is the most wonderful person in the world. She’s the angel voice that bids you goodnight, kisses your cheek and whispers sleep tight" - Wendy Darling

What if Mother isn’t there? Can’t be there… They say it takes a village to raise a child… but who is that village and where do you find them?

Drawing from real experiences, M-Othering explores the many ways women care for one another, including the quieter yet momentous joy of learning how to mother ourselves. It is a celebration of all other female relationships, of cross-generational learning and loving.
