Event description

The Every Woman is a new collaborative contemporary dance work from choreographer Mara Glass.

This hour long dance work focuses on the stories of local women from various walks of life. It looks at what connects us, what makes us unique, and what separates us as a community of women.

From conducted interviews with four Illawarra women, the show explores memories from childhood, marriage, divorce, to a life-changing medical diagnosis. The Every Woman offers perspectives on how we can better support each other as women. It presents advice on healing and closure. It touches on what women truly value in their lives. But mostly, this show explores the rich, full-bodied, complicated, messy, visceral lives women lead.

Mara Glass moved to Wollongong in 2019 as an apprentice at AUSTI Dance & Physical Theatre (then Austinmer Dance Theatre) under the direction of Michelle Maxwell. In 2019 she presented My Battery is Low as part of AUSTI's uNCOILEd season. Since then, she has presented three full length dance shows as an independent artist: Joy Box (2020), Ankle Deep Water (2022), and Let Them Be Messy (2023). In 2023, Mara also completed a Masters of Dance Research for Professional Practitioners through Rambert School, with a focus on her role as a voice for the feminist movement in her choreographic practice.
