Inspired by a mentor that has acted as a mother figure Matriarch looks at how people in our lives regardless of being genetically related can stand in place as family, specifically looking at the role of a mother figure within a community whose power, influence and nurture enables those around them to let go and express themselves fully, finding unity as they dance together as a form of ritual.
Special thanks to Faye’s mentor Edwin Revlon for inspiring the piece.

Matriarch toured the UK as part of a triple bill from May-June 2023.

Commissioned by: Intoto Dance Company (London Studio Centre)
