Connection: Dubbo Women

JOIN IN STORYMAKING WORKSHOPS 

Friday 15 March, 5.30-8.30pm, 
Saturday 16 March, 10.30am - 12.30pm. 
ArtStudio, 13b Bultje Street, Dubbo. 
Includes refreshments. 
Our workshops bring women together in a safe, friendly space to collaborate and create magic from ideas and words on the lands of the Tubba-Gah maing Wiradjuri people in Dubbo. Create stories inspired by your real-life experiences or your imagination - which could be relationships, climate change, living on the land or other issues you are navigating. All women are welcome to join in, whether you have written anything before or not.

If you have a story to tell or you have written one, you are welcome. During the workshops, we will work together to share ideas and stories, with the aim of developing or recording them into monologues that may be performed by actors and musicians at a live event on Saturday.

The workshops are facilitated by Voices of Women Artistic Director Lliane Clarke and Dubbo writer and performer Kalina Davis, supported by Studio 138 Dubbo producer and director Erifili Davis.  We walk alongside First Nations women and welcome women from diverse communities, including women from LGBTQI+ communities. Workshop ticket includes a ticket to CONNECTION LIVE.
