Canada Water Theatre presents Motherhoody

Motherhoody |Canada Water Theatre | Sunday 12 & Sunday 19 May, 11.30am – 4.30pm

We are Anna-Maria and Jess – two women in our 30’s on a reproductive precipice!

Join us as we hold space and invite you to come and smash it all open, start a conversation, listen, share and validate.

We are going to ask lots of questions about women’s bodies, motherhood and everything that goes along with that. We are going to speak with women and ask them what they want to talk about, what they want to make known, what they want to share. We want to engage with the language of motherhood. Is it truly representative? Is it truly without judgement? Is it truly ours?

A day of conversation, more questions than answers and exploration including a sharing of a work-in-progress performance.

This event is part of the Albany REBELS Season.
