SELF DETERMINATION
A solo work created and performed by Ruth Mills
Ruth explores the arena of self agency through the eyes of a woman facing marriage on the day after Scotland's independence referendum in 2014.
From hope through despair to devision and restoration.
She was on the fence,
Then it broke beneath her.

GIRLFRIEND
An all female visual and sonic delight, casting a bright light on the objectification of women in pop culture.
Girlfriend presents the fantasy...
...then tears it limb from limb.
This new work brings a feminist sensibility to recurring themes in popular media through an exciting blend of dance, dialogue, music and film.
Girlfriend is an often athletic theatrical comic strip, packed with emotionally charged vignettes and alternative, political takes on ballet and music video.
From Beyonce to Balanchine, no-one is safe!
Engaging local women in a community cast to perform alongside the professional dancers, these girlfriends challenge popular perceptions of the female image, highlighting and questioning the misogyny of perfection.
Enter their world and share in their brutal truths and common experiences; with the odd comic twist.
