ALL EVENTS WERE HELD AT CENTENARY SQUARE BIRMINGHAM

Dance film premiere; a 50-strong all-female cast of professional and volunteer dancers, featuring the original ‘Bull Chain Women’ from Birmingham 2022 Opening Ceremony, re-convened for this inspirational project.

Witness these extraordinary women swell in a space which once didn’t belong to them, celebrating change and exploring the notion of women sinking, swimming, and surfacing.

This beautiful feminist film will celebrate how far we have come, yet also reminds us of the distance we still have to go to reach global equality.
