Directors Holly Taylor-Zuntz and Susan Thompson bring their London stage show to the Black Sea coast as part of the Giorgi Garakanidze International Festival of Folk and Church Musical in Batumi, Georgia.
In October 2021 Susan and Holly found themselves presenting the video of their theatre show in Batumi, Georgia. The 20 minute stage show was created and performed in Summer 2021, telling the story of Georgian songs coming to the UK and becoming loved by singers in community choirs. Susan Thompson, who co-created and performed in the show, says “The story is entwined with the Garakanidze family. It is close to their hearts. It is especially touching to share it at the Festival, which carries the name of Gigi Garakanidze.”

Reviews and Listener Responses
I listened to some other podcasts of yours from the same series. Wow! You’re passionate and share so much knowledge and wonderful women singers’ voices. I’ll listen to the last one slowly over the week. Oh thanks for pointing me to these. Truly inspiring and they’re taking back to my days with ‘Song of the Goat’. Also, Im co-running a workshop for women on ancestry/roots so you’ve given me some inspiration for the music. And have been looking into circular dances as well so thanks for your podcasts!

I’ve listened to the first two episodes! I reeeeally like it 🙌 it’s super fascinating given I know nothing about Georgian singing 😂 it shines through how much means to you all and that is so lovely to hear

It sounds like the experience of singing together is a little bit like I was describing swimming with another person – you have to ‘feel’ each other and tune into all the subtle communication that’s happening
A beautiful thing
