Women Wise

by Untold Dance Theatre

physical-theatre-and-circus, dance

Women-Wise is a diversely moving and entertaining piece of dance theatre.

about the production

The work was created using true stories about women’s mental health from women’s groups in Bristol. The work is also informed by the individual stories from the performers. Women-Wise pulls apart and dissects what it is to live with lack of confidence and low-self esteem, what are the causes and what are the effects. From starting our period, to the beginning of the menopause, body dysmorphia, depression & anxiety, the gender pay gap and growing older are a few of what Women-Wise explores. Untold Dance Theatre will take you on a journey that any woman is sure to recognise…
