About the project

From October 2023 to May 2024, a series of workshops were held in our partner hubs: Ruth Winston Community Centre in Enfield, Torch Theatre in Milford Haven and Third Age Project in Camden. These workshops were developed and led by Complicité Associates Bea Pemberton, Bronya Deutsch, Catherine Alexander and Joyce Henderson. Over 40 women took part in these sessions which invited participants to share their stories on the themes of invisibility and rebellion, and to explore a variety of devised theatre-making techniques using these stories as stimuli. These sessions culminated in informal sharings of the work developed.

This next phase of the project will see two smaller groups take part in a workshop series in two separate venues. The two groups will then come together for a rehearsal process to make a brand new piece of theatre which will be performed for the public at Hoxton Hall.

“I really appreciated how this project encouraged me to reflect on my experiences and to value my life today. Gloriously liberating and enhancing. I love the way that physical 'movement' was woven into our sessions naturally.” Past Participant

“I felt part of a community with like-minded women. It was supportive, uniting and challenging. I continue to expand my comfort zone. I've been a long-time fan of Complicité. Being part of the project was a dream come true.” Past Participant

“All positive experience. Totally stimulating; intellectually and socially. The skill of the Complicité practitioner in setting exercises/games, in fostering relaxed and open communication between us all was invaluable.” Past Participant

“I found it challenging - I like a challenge as it puts you on your toes and the spontaneity helps your imagination get creative! It was my first challenge since the challenge of facing cancer and helped my playful fun self to come out and get social again.” Past Participant
