Labyrinth Betches
This collective formed organically. From Eva's first dreams of working with the labyrinth to her inviting Sarah to imagine how this embodied practice could be brought to communities. Together they dug down deep and planted the seeds of this ephemeral living performance. The Betches were born. A fellow betch joined in workshopping the experience; Bri, and the Betches pollinated. We meet at the intersection of play, healing, and the power theatre has to reconnect to the core of what it means to be human.

Just messing, this work isn't on social media. Come experience it in person, outside!
Eva Farrell
As a theatre & movement practitioner, I work with collective stories that surface from communities. I am a playful teaching and facilitation artist who guides devised theatrical works to life. I coax these stories to emerge through avid play, inventive prompts, and heightening awareness towards other ensemble members, our communities, and ourselves.
Devising work from this holistic and improvisatory lens is paramount for me because it resembles the intricacies of life. In life, an abundance of complexity happens daily, which can be overwhelming and chaotic. However, with a shift in mindset, the chaos can transform into offers, a method of collaborative exchange. These exchanges, if activated, can change from patterns into dialogue, to stories, and possibly action. I practice this form of devising because when I release into an improvisatory spirit, I drop into the moment. I flow, and this energy that other ensemble members and I conjure initiates contagious collaborations to which I repeatedly return.
If you are curious where else I have worked feel free to google me or check out another company I founded with other collaborators.
