Mud Pies
Mud Pies will take you on a joyful and freeing exploration . . . of soil!
Mud Pies is a reclamation of green spaces and all the wellbeing they hold for us. It’s a revolt against “act like a lady” being used as a synonym for clean, quiet, and gentle. Mud Pies is a call to get messy, be loud, and fearlessly explore the beautiful green spaces that weave throughout this land.
In the hills of Blaen Brân I spent the day rediscovering and reclaiming my freedom in green spaces. Using dance, video footage, and soil I’ll share this exploration with you.
Through this intimate and dynamic display of physicality, Mud Pies will share the journey one woman takes, using the physicality of gardening and exploration of the green spaces surrounding her, to learn how mess and mistakes are essential to wellbeing, self-love, and freedom.
