The Salty Coven

The Salty Coven are a group of women who swim in the North Ayrshire sea in all weathers, in all seasons. The sea is what brings us together, what holds us, what challenges us and what binds us. The sea has held our tears, our laughter, our wildest screams and our best dance moves. 

The Salty Coven is a cold water community performance that takes place in the sea and is watched from the beach, the work is created from the stories of dookers and inspired by why we take to the waves, even in the middle of winter. 

Supported by Feral Neighbourhood Arts Residency 2023.

Associate Artists: Amy Conway, Biff Nicolson, Fergus Dunnet and Ceylan Hay.

​Blood Moon

A reimagined werewolf story about the transformation of body and mind during the menstrual cycle, the sometimes alienating impact of this process, and the nurturing, restorative power of the collective. Devised and performed by a community ensemble of menstruators who have come together to share their lived experience, to move as a pack, and to howl at the moon. An outdoor, physical theatre encounter like no other. 

Blood Moon is a collaboration between theatre artist-performers Amy Conway and Melanie Jordan is supported by Magnetic North Theatre Company’s Seed Fund 2022.

Blood Moon premiered at Summerhall Courtyard as part of Manipulate Festival 2023.
