Thresh & Bray Theatre

We are four artists creating multidisciplinary performance that explores human-nature entanglement through a female gaze. Based on Dartmoor, we develop work that enchants and reawakens wonder with the natural world, telling stories of our interdependence while acknowledging our roles in harmful systems.
