Join us for an evening with researcher, broadcaster and performer, Naomi Paxton, MC of Museums Showoff and Stand Up at the V&A, and an occasional presenter of BBC Radio 3’s Free Thinking programme.
6.30pm: A rare glimpse into some political, feminist theatre from over a century ago, with some script in hand play readings with Naomi and our rep company. In 1908 the Actresses’ Franchise League and Women Writers’ Suffrage League were founded, bringing together theatre professionals who wanted to support the Votes for Women movement through their work. They commissioned, produced and performed suffrage theatre and entertainments across the UK, seizing the opportunity to make new work that responded to the many issues and ideas at the heart of the suffrage campaign.
7.30pm – 8.30pm: Join us in The Drapery’s garden and bar, where there will be wonderful vegan Middle Eastern snacks for sale!
8.30pm: Ada Campe: Too Little, Too Soon. Variety artiste Ada Campe decided to do some research into her family history during lockdown – and was delighted and intrigued by what she found! Join her for a show about wonderful women, surprising secrets, and amphibian water ballets.

Salon de la Vie presents Viva Your Vulva by Elaine Miller
2022-07-23 19:30 - 21:30 | The Poly, 24 Church St, Falmouth, Cornwall, TR11 3EG, United Kingdom
Viva Your Vulva is a comedic take on things which are hard to discuss, but that women need and want to know.
Which is a vagina and which is a vulva? How can I stop my fanny from falling out? What is an orgasm and why is it sometimes easy and sometimes not? How do I stop wetting myself? Is this normal? 50% of UK women do not know which is their vagina and which is their vulva and frank, funny, factual women’s health physiotherapist Elaine Miller does not think that is ok.
This show is about what is in women’s pants, why they evolved like that, what you can reasonably expect from your genitals in the course of your lifetime, how to seek help if you need it, and who’s fault it is that you were never taught this stuff in the first place. Come and learn how to laugh not leak and how to tell your clitoris from your elbow.
This show is evidence based and counts as CPD for healthcare professionals and is guaranteed to improve your orgasms!! The show will be followed by entertainment, storytelling and songs from SLG’s artistic director, Rebecca Mordan.

Salon du Chocolat
2022-12-16 19:30 - 20:30 | The Drapery, United Kingdom
Allow performers from Scary Little Girls to stimulate your senses!
This intimate storytelling salon celebrates the relationship between cocoa nibs and forbidden literature…
When chocolate was first brought to England in the 1600s, it was considered a taboo substance, enjoyed only by the risque and elite in private salons. Some of our finest literature was also once considered too provocative for public consumption and was heard in similar salon environments by only the boldest of ears.
We recreate these intimate environs, combining mouth-watering chocolate treats with tales of the secret, banned and scandalous from authors such as Lord Byron, John Donn, Angela Carter and Joanne Harris.
Performed, read and sung to you by our highly acclaimed storytellers, the Salon du Chocolat invites you to succumb to a literary seduction!

Moon Hag R&D
2022-12-17 | Penlee Park Theatre, Morrab Road, Penzance, Cornwall, TR18 4HE
Sunday, 20 July 1969 – the night man will land on the moon.
The far west of Cornwall –granite and serpentine – standing stones and a Satellite Station, under the light of the moon on which man will walk. An ancient landscape at the cutting edge of the modern technology that will broadcast this historic moment into the homes of the UK.
Three women artists, each as old as the century – a sculptor, a painter and a theatre-maker – are tuning in to witness this moment. Post-husband, post-children, or any wish or expectation of them–they all landed here from up-country and have lived within a few square miles, without knowing each other, since the 1940s.
Each has found her perfect self in solitude, with the means to claim a space of her own. Each has shaped, through her vision and her hands, and her love of the moon, a version of Cornwall which is beamed down the years.
But there is a shadow-woman behind them: she has been here all along, with the moon, and the sea and the stone circles she helped to build. There is a line from her Bronze Age moon worship, through the art and moon landings of the 1960s, to 2025 when Goonhilly technology is preparing to put a woman on the moon.
This is about women in Cornwall, under and on the moon: how each shapes and is shaped by the other down the years.
Please note that this is a private R&D event so no tickets are available

Menstrual Creativity Workshop with Amy Draper
2022-12-17 10:00 - 11:00
Are you working in arts venues and looking to support wellness within production companies?

Are you part of a permanent arts building team and looking to support wellness within rehearsal rooms?

Are you a freelance arts facilitator or arts leader looking to grow your confidence around supporting wellness within performance teams and companies?

Join this 2 hour online workshop with Amy Draper that explores how to run a menstrual cycle aware process to benefit both your participants and the work.

It will demystify, provide language to use and give confidence to talk about this, incorporating:
+ Fears and taboos of bringing menstrual cycle awareness into the workplace
+ The Inner Seasons – an outline of the different monthly energies
+ How to harness these as an individual creative
+ How to run a team or a room with this and menstrual wellbeing in mind
+ Further resource list
Why?
Menstrual cycle awareness is all about people who menstruate understanding and working with, not against, the natural and consistent energies of each cycle. It’s brilliant, eye-opening and game-changing. Amy says, ‘The more I’ve engaged with this, both as a menstruator and someone who leads creative processes, the more it hasn’t made sense to exclude it from other wellbeing practices.”

Riot Showgrrrls Club
2022-12-17 19:30 - 20:30 | Stones Krowji Café, West Park, Redruth, Cornwall, TR15 3AJ, United Kingdom
In 2008, when lad mags were in their hay day, cabaret meant tit tassels and female stripping and porn was being main-streamed right into our cultural veins, Scary Little Girls bravely took a pro sex anti porn show to Edinburgh.
We claimed that ‘it’s an empirical fact that feminists have the best sex’ and used throbbing, electro-pop and gleeful, musical romps to lay out why – and how porn ruins this.
Now in 2022, still putting the “camp” squarely into “campaigning”, our heroines Rebecca Mordan and Christina Li are going to use games, comedy, songs and hand-stamps to look at how we are faring since in these days of hyper-social media and Pornhub.
Expect make-your-own-membership cards, vulva cupcakes and Patriarchy Bingo in this fast paced, fact facing, feel good feminist fling – and there will be dancing in our revolution!
