Hosted by award-winning comedian and performer Amy Vreeke, this event showcases work in development from female and female-identifying theatre-makers who are recipients of seed commission funding from Waterside.

Come along to see and support inspiring and thought-provoking new work from some of the region’s most talented theatre-makers. Our featured artists include:

Amy Lever: Lost Girl

Birdy, twenty years old, aimless but determined to travel, digs through her estranged family’s Jewish heritage in the hope of obtaining an EU passport. What could possibly go wrong? But instead she unearths a family secret buried since Damascus 1901. Lost Girl is an exploration into Jewish-arab heritage, the expectations of womanhood and found family.

Cathy Sheil: Baby Brain

Matrescence is the transition into motherhood. Like adolescence, it can be a period of extreme physical, physiological and psychological change.  The piece explores common mothering ideologies and experiences like ‘baby brain’ and post natal depression through puppets and science.

Jenny Gaskell: The Sustainable Travel Agency

The Sustainable Travel Agency is a new interactive performance/audio project in development. It’s a pop up travel shop, created from recycled or recyclable materials. Audiences enter the shop front, have a short consultation and are booked onto 11 minute audio holidays right on the shop floor.

Brown Kuri Productions: To Be Seen

Two different but also similar perspectives of a Pakistani woman in her late 20s and a Punjabi woman in her early 40s. Navigating growth, life pressures and healing ancestral patterns.

This event is part of a mini-season of creative activities celebrating International Women’s Day.
