Calm Down, Dear: A Festival of Feminism
T1480482056
A festival of theatre and performance, cabaret, comedy, short films and lively discussion about feminism: what it meant then, what it means now, and why it's resurgent. There will be brand new shows, special commissions, input from leading feminist thinkers and provocateurs, and a critical eye turned on gender inequality, the sexualisation of society, everyday sexism, and much more. The last thing it'll make you do, dears, is calm down.

We Object
We, Object is an absurdist amalgamation of visual puns , wordplay and amateur dancing that deals with objects, objectification and objection. It begins with a slide show and ends with a dance routine. The middle is somewhat embarrassing and a plethora of miniature props begin to complicate the bigger picture. As the show progresses it becomes increasingly unclear as to who (or what) is (or isn't) being objectified. Figs in Wigs are five women placing themselves in the spotlight, using comedy to highlight something so frequently laughed off. Or perhaps its just a show about small things.
