Garbh

Garbh (womb) is an innovative, in-the-round, outdoor dance work that reimagines ancient Gujarati Folk Dance ‘Garba’, giving voice to this underrepresented ancestral form through contemporary choreography and immersive design.Honouring divine feminine energy ‘Shakti', Garbh embodies the source of life, force of transformation, and essence of motherhood.

The ensemble, orbiting a lit, central clay lantern that signifies life within the womb, explores themes of community, creation, resilience, and unity, transforming public spaces into vibrant sites of shared celebration and embodied ritual.Through installation, bespoke soundscape, costume, and culturally rooted choreography, this new work transports audiences through a journey of life’s cycles in an enlivening, soulful experience that speaks to human connection and ecological renewal.
