Women Connected

Women Connected is an on-going project that involves women from all over Rotterdam. Together we create performances about their lives, their yearnings and their experiences. Women Connected works with women from different generations, cultures, and regardless of their training and talent. They share a common desire in inspiring other women to become stronger. Women Connected knows what make women tick and what societal issues they face. These become guiding themes in easily accessible theatre processes. Many of the participants Women Connected seeks to reach do not immediately have the courage to climb on stage to perform for the public. The project offers them, therefore, a very slow familiarization with theatre in safe spaces – until they are ready to make the next step and become role models by performing for other women. One of the results that emerged from Women Connected is Silent Heroines Disco.
