A devised piece conceived and led by Julia Bodiford
Drawing from centuries of witch folklore and the lived experiences of women and gender-diverse people today, this devised work explores the ways people have been feared, controlled, judged, and punished for stepping outside the boundaries placed around them.
Through horror, ritual, movement, video, shadow, sound, visual effects, and original text, WITCHES moves between the world of folklore and the world we recognize now. Along the way, isolated experiences become shared ones, strangers become a community, and shared empathy and connection builds strength in both gentle and loving ways—and in a way that inspires strength. When the hunted find one another, the animal of prey remembers it has teeth, inspiring a transformation more fearsome than its predator.
Created collaboratively by a vast and multifaceted ensemble of performers and writers, WITCHES is a theatrical exploration of fear, power, survival, the gritty, the dark, and the strange. It is about the passage of time and reclaiming of identify.
Come dance with us in the woods October 23-25 and October 30-Nov 1st at the Theatre Denton Annex in The Golden Triangle Mall.
