It's really hard to talk about birth without descending into enormous cliches. So we are going to do it with ferocity and comedy. And a glitter bomb. Katie and Laura talk about it in different ways. They are making a show to challenge that talk, challenge each other and challenge the accepted. Wild is new, bold piece of theatre about how we might be using the wrong language when we talk about birth. The show is a part of a brand new project called The Birth Project, a selection of shows/workshops/events that focus on labour, birth, bodies and all that complicated big stuff. As part of the making process, Katie and Laura have worked with local women and birth professionals, each one of whom has their own completely unique experience of birth. There are as many birth stories as there are people. Wild is part riot, part disco, part rite of passage. Expect comedy, music, loudness, bold talking and a glitter bomb.
