Project Mothers uses the arts as a vehicle to provide creative experiences to women that are mothers, in order to explore themes around motherhood and find out what other related topics arise from this artistic exploration.
Participants will engage in a series of games that will build an atmosphere of trust, to then engage directly in creative processes that will allow them to become authors, co-authors, editors, and observers of the work generated in the room. It will be a place to talk, reflect, share stories, laugh, create metaphors, and artistically transcend the day-to-day contradictory aspects of motherhood.
PARTICIPANTS/CANDIDATES
Project mothers is inclusive, we respect and appreciate differences in ethnicity, age, marital status, disability, sexual orientation, education, or religion; all types of mother are welcome to apply and take part in the project - the bigger the diversity, the better representation we will have of motherhood as a whole.
Spaces are limited. If you are interested in taking part in one of our workshop series, please e-mail to find out more and to put your name on the list.
No artistic experience is necessary, only passion for motherhood, willingness to communicate, desire to express feelings and push boundaries (within participant's own personal limits).

PROJECT BACKGROUND
This project started as MA Applied Theatre research through practice. My initial research questions were:
-
Can drama and participatory arts help women to embrace the ambivalent aspects of motherhood?
-
What are the themes that mothers are eager to explore?
-
Can a creative process provide these women with a space to transcend the practical and mundane aspects of their lives in an artistic journey of self-discovery?
-
What outcomes and outputs would such an exploration produce?
