100 WOMEN 100 STORIES brings these stories and music to life in a community engagement project that brings women together, culminating in a beautiful performance that moves audiences to tears and laughter.

The House That Dan Built, known for its commitment to empowering women through the arts, has crafted this project to be a moving testament to the power of female voices. The performance leaves a lasting impression, challenging perceptions and encouraging dialogue about the role of women in today’s society. 100 Women 100 Stories is more than a performance; it is a bold statement of solidarity, strength, and shared humanity.

Participants quotes:
“I felt like I was paying homage to my brave, broken, beautiful female ancestors, and by doing so - that I was somehow passing on their wisdom and protection to my own kind, wise, incredible, daughter and onto my funny, sweet & feisty little granddaughter. It was bonding, swirling and enthralling and I will never forget the magic of it.” - Kate

“I was lucky enough to be part of this amazing project and was blown away by the organisation, talent and pure passion to uplift women and girls through music. I have come back to work this week completely elated and ready to change the world.” - Loretta

Audience quotes:
“It was very moving, emotionally engaging and I even felt a pang of jealousy that I wasn’t able to participate!” - Stephan (audience)
“The performance was brilliant! I loved the combination of spoken word, story and song. It was all so well directed and put together. Very powerful.” - Jill (audience)
