The artistic research

W.O.M.B. explores the female (pro)creative power through movement. It centres on acceptance: accepting the responsibility, the pain, the change, the inner and outer transformation.

W.O.M.B. is a performance of mothers facing their challenges and working through their vulnerability, finding strength and re-finding womanhood. The piece gives visibility to the body marked by pregnancy.

During this residency, Julienne Doko wants to explore how the scenography can echo Michael Kvium’s painting “Natural Circle”, which inspired the piece. Moreover, she wants to develop and deepen the narrative in collaboration with the other dancers. They will share their stories about birth, motherhood and body image and see how they each manifest their experience in movement, developing solos that will dialogue with each other.
