What is Thresh & Bray?

We are a collective of female multidisciplinary artists. We create performance art that explores the entanglement between humans and nature through a relational, and place-based approach. 

Formed in 2023 and based in South Devon, we make work that is both serious and silly. We attempt to balance joy, grief, beauty, and rebellion. Through slow, collaborative processes, we seek to unhook from capitalist norms of production, instead grounding our practice in play, connection, and ritual.

  • Their gift to us is a stunning, sensory kaleidoscope of nature- and self-connection.
