About:
They emerge from mist and myth. Barefoot spirits of the forest, fierce and free.
Samodiva awakens the ancient tales of the Balkan wild women: guardians of nature, shape-shifters of fate, voices of forgotten power. In this living ritual of movement and presence, time bends, and the lines between performer and witness dissolve.
You are not just an observer, you are part of the spell.
Wander through a world of symbols and quiet encounters, where stories drift in fragments and touch arrives like a secret.
This is dance as invocation. Myth as a mirror.
Step into the realm of the Samodiva, and walk the path only you can find.
Creative Team:
Idea & choreography Marchela-Vasilena Merchant
Performers: Francesca Row, Lilly Armah, Marchela-Vasilena Merchant, Nina Tomlinson, Stephanie Handjiiska, Thea Chamberlain
Costumes Freya Thomas-Taylor
Music: Dan Hibbert
Producer: Stephanie Handjiiska, Ella Hopkins, Lydia Wharf
