- Braised Babes

​

"The woman, animalised; the animal, sexualised. That's the sexual politics of meat,"

 

How many people think that the exploitation of animals and the exploitation of women are interconnected?

 

In this unspoken, devised performance piece, final year Drama and Theatre Arts Students Jasmine Baker and Amy Strange problematise the blurred relationship between women and animals, echoing Carol Adam’s Feminist-Vegetarian critical theory for the contemporary theatre audience.

 

Caramel bunny verse bunny boiler: this cotton-tailed, carrot-fuelled piece has a larger message around the representation of women lurking within it's shadows.

- Three Years

​

Young people today have the world at their fingertips, as the saying goes. Horizons are broadened at an ever earlier age; sexual and social pressures build; and appetites become harder to ignore. Self-image wrestles with self-sabotage, and that is even before they’ve been crammed together into a closet.

 

This is an opportunity to for you to meet Jack over three years of sex, identity, and coming out.

​

- Not One To Judge

​

‘Love thy neighbour’ or in the 21st century, at least try and pretend to. Ever wonder what it’s like to not have a filter ? Venture behind closed doors and witness first hand the death of community spirit. A relentless and emotive 12 minute monologue spewing causal slander, that is riddled with contradictions and healthy dose of bigotry.

 

Oblivious. Blunt. Frank. Make yourself a strong brew, you’re probably going to need it.

- Art Official

​

‘What goes on behind the frame?' In their debut piece, Art Official explores the world of an art gallery through the eyes of the many women who men paint. Take a glimpse into what life is like for two women spending their lives between a wall and a glass face. They’ll be grape-ful for your company, they don't get the attention they used to. So, step inside the minds of the true figures of history, for your voyeuristic pleasure.

- Dirty Sheets

​

One intelligible voice amidst a crowd of non sensicle glittified chatter.

 

DIRTY SHEETS invites you right into bed with a girl who is thrusted into navigating her way through unedited hazy recollections, embarrassing decisions and a whole lot a ups and downs.

 

A semi-autobiographical solo performance by Mathilda Blythe showing an unedited version of a night out including all the dodgy bits and bobs. Frank, comical, graphic.

​

- Translucence

​

Water. The vital substance for human existence taken for granted in Western Society. Blood, tears, saliva, sweat – visceral fluids haunt the modern day female heart and body that is still exploited for the benefit of men.

 

In 1975 Sylvia Federici wrote “Wages Against Housework”, encouraging women to demand a wage for work in the home so it is considered labour, not a choice or desire. Despite post-feminist assumptions, are young girls still trained to give more emotional and sexual attention to men than they get in return?

 

TRANSLUCENCE is a cleansing enactment, amalgamating haunting spoken word poetry with a physical fluid-filled baptism; will you see into our minds, not through our clothes?
