BURIED STORIES:

This project surrounds the buried stories of the women killed in the Scottish witch trials at Loch Nor. It looks at the women who weren't buried in St Cuthberts burial ground but rather were murdered just beside it by men. I aimed to re-brand the 'witches' seeing them not as men painted them to be; evil, dark spirits but in fact healers and mothers women who used medicinal plants and looked to Celtic Goddesses for guidance. Through this performance I hoped to try and tell their actual stories through showing the light and beauty of these women.
