MaMa Scottish tour schedule, Summer 2022

MaMa is a new dance/multi-media production exploring the journey of pregnancy, birth and early motherhood, through Bharatanatyam dance, immersive visuals, and a blend of Celtic-Carnatic music. MaMa was developed by directors/choreographers, Kirsten Newell and Oxana Banshikova and was inspired by their own experiences of motherhood as well as conversations with women from local community groups and health professionals.

The MaMa tour has been made possible through support from Creative Scotland Touring Fund for Theatre and Dance. The production has been produced by Vision Mechanics.

We are grateful for support from The Workroom, Dance Base and Akademi towards this production.
