After an exhilarating few months of R&D, rehearsals, and our sharing event, today we have submitted our final Gravida Project report to @Arts_Wales_ ! We are already working on our next steps, and will have some exciting things to share over the coming months. Watch this space!
Here are some of the photos taken from our exploration into nature during our R&D phase! They were a great inspiration for many of the elements included in our final dance sharing - centred on womanhood, motherhood, femininity, dance, and nature - at @chaptertweets back in July.
Have you checked out our performance video yet? We had an amazing time exploring themes of pregnancy, dance, motherhood, and femininity. We’d love to hear your thoughts on our R&D as well as the final piece, so get in touch! 💃
Here is a snippet of the beautiful performance in development that we shared in July! Gravida Project has grown significantly since we started this R&D journey last winter, and we are now collating feedback for our @Arts_Wales_ completion report. (1/2) vimeo.com/277905235
(2/2) Please share with us your experiences and feedback on Gravida Project by emailing [email protected] or contacting us via our website / social media. We want to thank to all of our collaborators, supporters, and funders, and are looking forward to the next phase of our work!

We are delighted to announce that we have been awarded a new grant by Tŷ Cerdd New Music Commissions @NationalLottery funding to further our work! This new element of our ongoing work from Gravida Project, is called SUO GAN - Lullaby for a Mother. 💃 facebook.com/39869861347759…
@joseffmorgan We have some exciting things in the pipeline! Drop us a DM with your email if you like and we’ll keep you updated on any plans for future performances 💃
#MeetTheTeam continues today with Mary-Anne Roberts! She's a 54-year old performance artist and mother who made a new home for herself and her family in Cardiff, a long way from their native home of Trinidad. She performs because creating keeps her feeling rooted and connected.
We'd like to thank every single person who has contributed to, supported, or funded this project so far - we couldn't have done it without you!
On Friday we shared an incredible multimedia experience at @chaptertweets , based on our r&d findings so far, and we couldn't be prouder of the emotions and movements shared! Here are some photos taken by Vaida of our final rehearsal before the event. More to come soon! 💃
@sargent65 @chaptertweets @Arts_Wales_ Thank you! 💕
Final rehearsal before our sharing #performance this afternoon @chaptertweets and all tickets are sold! #dance #pregnancy @Arts_Wales_
Today is our final preparation for tomorrow’s dance multimedia installation experience at @chaptertweets in Cardiff! We’ve been joined by Sion Orgon and Sarah for this rehearsal, and can’t wait to share this experience with you all tomorrow!
#MeetTheTeam @tanjaraman is a choreographer/dancer, who performed in the Gravida Project in 2013 whilst seven months pregnant with her second child. Now based in Oulu, Northern Finland, she acts as our Critical Friend, and plans to introduce Gravida Project to her local community
@karenmediawales We'd love to see you at our R&D sharing at @chaptertweets on 15 June, 13.00. Comp at Box Office #pregnancy #Dance #creativity chapter.org/gravida-projec…
(3/3) We can't wait to share our findings with you at our FREE event at @chaptertweets on the 15th of June! Grab your tickets here - chapter.org/gravida-projec… (Photo credit: @CarysL )
(2/3) We’re exploring how these emotions effect our physicality. Jessie Brett, Deborah Light, and Lara Ward joined us yesterday, with Lynette Margerison sketching them, reflecting on how the physical materials used related to the inner journeys being discussed & explored. @CarysL
Each day of rehearsals at Chapter Arts Centre, we have new artists joining us in the space. We’re further sharing and exploring the themes of pregnancy, movement, creativity, nature, motherhood, womanhood, and our sense of self. (1/3) Photo credit: @CarysL
We have been triggering emotions of childhood, pregnancy, and motherhood today by using stones to effect our weight and centre of gravity. It’s only day four of rehearsals and we are feeling so inspired! We can’t wait to share it with you at next week’s event at @chaptertweets 💃
