Immersive ancient myth that sets the women centre stage. Plunge into the wild world of the goddess Artemis: an ecstatic encounter with the Dawn, a moonlit path that leads to transformation and a dilemma that only the audience can solve...Join performance storyteller Katy Cawkwell on a path less trodden, as she goes hunting in the wild places to bring you epic tales of women taking their power whatever the consequences.

"Your performance really blew me away - it was so good! Brave and bold and beautiful."
“Fabulous! You transported us all to a very special place. It felt very magical and therapeutical.”
"What a fabulous show. I loved every minute. Flipping brilliant!"
“It was a really captivating experience. Felt like I'd been flung back in time gathered around a fire.”
"Fabulous evening and loved every minute... blown away by Katy Cawkwell's Artemis. A five star event for me."
