Join us for a moving evening of storytelling and performance as women’s lived experiences with housing, stories from the audience, are brought to life on stage—improvised in the moment by the Tell Tales Collective.
How does design influence lived experience, relationship with the environment, community, neighbours? How does it shape home life? Might houses and neighbourhoods be designed differently if it took into consideration women's needs--as residents, mothers, workers, social creatures, citizens, earth dwellers?
Through the art of Playback Theatre, stories of struggle, hope, resilience, and belonging are transformed into powerful, heartfelt performances that spark new conversations.
The performance concludes with refreshments and a community discussion inspired by the stories shared, creating a space for connection and collective insight.
Sign-in from 6:45pm for a 7:00pm start
Riverside Community Hall, Lower Moutere
Open to all
This performance forms part of the Women Revolutionising Housing Hui and the Housing Futures Forum. If you're keen to participate in either of those events, those tickets are sold separately here: https://events.humanitix.com/women-revolutionising-housing-hui
However, if you have tickets for one of those two events, the performance is included in the ticket price.
