Show Notes
A Thousand Threads is an audio performance about women, girls and cricket. Inspired by Women’s Cricket being included in the Commonwealth Games for the very first time in the Birmingham 2022 Games.
Bringing together community performers from across Birmingham and Sandwell, A Thousand Threads features a vibrant and unique soundscape of words and music.
Developed from local research, the piece explores broad themes about women and girls’ lives and aspirations, both on and off the pitch.

This is an audio performance designed to be listened to with headphones.
