DELRAY BEACH, Fla. - Floridant -- (Delray Beach, FL – January 6, 2025) Marjorie Waldo, President & CEO of Arts Garage, today announced that the nonprofit organization is presenting a world premiere production as part of its ongoing Artists-in-Residence (AiR) series, which is underwritten by a grant from the Cultural Council for Palm Beach County's Cultural Arts & Education Fund.
The production—axes, herbs and satchels—was developed and performed by The Anthropologists, one of New York City's leading devised theatre companies, which is dedicated to "the collaborative creation of investigative theatre that inspires action." According to its Mission Statement, the group fuses "research, expressive movement, and rigorous dramaturgy (to) create dynamic plays rooted in social inquiry."
"Ever since it was founded in 2008, The Anthropologists have used theatre to engage with challenging questions, to re-contextualize the present and reimagine our collective future—and that's exactly what this dynamic group will be doing at Arts Garage," says Waldo.

AXES, HERBS AND SATCHELS
Performed by The Anthropologists
Black and brown birthing bodies are in danger. Can the silenced traditions of Black midwives hold the key to saving them? With a company of six Black women and femme performers, axes, herbs and satchels travels across generations with storytelling, movement, and ritual. Developed through extensive ethnographic research and personal accounts, this stunning new play opens a space for collective learning and profound healing.
Rooted in the history and embodied wisdom of doulas and midwives, axes, herbs and satchels is a celebration of traditional knowledge held in the Black birth worker community and a potent examination of maternal mortality.
The United States has a maternal mortality rate that is three times higher than any other high-income country. Black and Indigenous birthing people are particularly at risk, with death rates up to three times more likely than their white counterparts. Modern medicine may be at our fingertips, but did it come at the cost of losing the ancient practices of doulas and midwives?
