A Bitter Pill
“A vast uncontrolled experiment, unparalleled in the history of medicine” - Barbara Seaman, 1969
Originally created during the 2020 national lockdown for Pagan’s MA Professional Contexts project, A Bitter Pill is a dance theatre film sharing the potential impacts of hormonal contraception on emotional and mental health.
An excerpt of A Bitter Pill was then developed into a duet, and performed for our live-streamed Double Bill, as part of Meta4 Dance Company’s project Natural Theatres in 2021.
