Voices of Women celebrates the craft of acting. The stories are performed by trained actors in rehearsed readings, from the tradition of Reader’s Theatre.
Why rehearsed readings? Read about the inspiration behind this form here.
Voices of Women is committed to diverse stories and diverse actors from all women in Australia, and strongly seeks stories and performers from First Nations, culturally and linguistically diverse communities, from women living with disability, women from LGBTQI+ communities, and women living in regional, remote and metropolitan areas.
Our performances are in intimate spaces, unusual, unexpected places for storytelling, with the audience immersed amongst the storytellers. The audience experiences the stories in an acoustic environment which can also involve elements of music.
Voices of Women also explores the intersection of performance with visual art and music, and collaborates with women visual artists and composers.
