Being pregnant. It’s an odyssey.  

Growing a baby and getting ready to give birth is not a pastel experience. It is becoming your most primal, and facing yourself and your capacity to survive, love and protect. It’s facing the eye of the storm.

ANIMALIA is a collaboration that brings the amazing talents of Liv Lorent’s choreography, Natalie’s performance skills, Ben Crompton & Vilte Balciunaite’s film making and Murray Gold’s music. Costumes by fashion designer Nasir Mazhar and lighting design by Michael Morgan.
