Semblance of a Woman

  • Synopsis

    A bedroom. Midnight. Overthinking and projecting. Is there one woman…or two?

    Exploring the intricacies of female and queer identity, semblance of a woman is a devised show that tackles the complexities of attraction. This is a show which firmly rejects the male gaze using projections and movement, taking inspiration from the myths of Pygmalion, Medusa and the works of Sappho.

  • Rehearsals

    This show was a collaboration between 23andcounting and Lowdoor Productions. Our script came from myself and Reya Muller using improvisation, devising and existing works as inspiration.

  • What does female desire look like? How do we recognise it when we don’t see it staged?

REVIEWS

‘Their more abstract conversations feel like the most tender passages of Sarah Kane’- The Indiependent.

‘An enigmatic piece of devised theatre that skillfully melds dance, breath, mythology- all in an intimate one room set’- Everything Theatre.

‘It would be an injustice to omit the play’s visual beauty. The projections of rolling waves, old French films and American rom-coms added a much needed whimsy to the set’ – The Indiependent.
