PROJECT DESCRIPTION

A new-performance development process for women
Facilitated and directed by Joy Brooke Fairfield
Co-produced by Little Red Studio and Tinka Jonakova

A Room of Our Own is a collaborative rehearsal process dedicated to generating original theatrical performance material about sex, sexuality and gender.

Consisting of 12 female artists this process will encourage both individual and collaborative new work development, and will conclude with public performances of an original piece of theatre.

Inspired by Virginia Woolf's dictum that all a woman needs to write fiction is "500 pounds a year and a room of one's own," this project investigates the connections between the individual and the collaborative creation process.

    The goals of the project are as follows:

  1. To give performers a place and the time to stretch their skills and explore new ways of creating

  2. To generate a great deal of material, both on the page and in space.

  3. To create, rehearse and perform a high-quality, full-length performance piece inspired by and constructed from this original material.
