WomanEwer:J’AI UN BLEU – the power of arts for wellbeing
Thursday 24 October
Exhibition: Anselm Studio 2, 7pm
Performance: Anselm Studio 1, 7.30pm
This exhibition and dance performance is based on real life stories from women and Trans women, performed by five survivors of sexual abuse.
A combination of vocal improvisations, recorded testimonials and moments of silence combine to create a multi sensory live performance – including spoken word, breath and the percussive sounds created by the dancers in motion.
All over the world, women experience assault on a daily basis, yet are all seen as nurturing creatures that care, cater and feed. The work shows the power of arts for healing/wellbeing.
This project is led by Laura Keynon and is part of ongoing research by Sidney De Haan Research Centre for Arts and Health (Director: Angela [email protected]).
The performance is 50 minutes and there will be a 20 minute Q and A after the show.
Events are free but booking is required. For more information on the programme and booking, visit canterbury.ac.uk/events
