So tear up your cards and bin the flowers\, because after this evening you’ll never see Valentine’s Day the same way again! \nGet into the mood with our specially curated Valentine’s playlist\, celebrating love in all its guises – not just the mushy hearts-for-eyes kind\, but also the unrequited\, the messy\, the vengeful and the self-love! \n \nAbout Salon de la Vie \nHosted by Scary Little Girls’ Rebecca Mordan\, Salon de la Vie is a series of fortnightly 15 – 20 minute extravaganzas of songs\, storytelling\, merriment and conversation\, focusing each time on an awe-inspiring\, remarkable and brave human from the world of film\, music\, literature and history\, drawing parallels with the achievements of activists today\, to celebrate how people positively embody the change they want to see in the world\, for themselves and for others. And we’re super proud that each salon has a custom illustration provided by the wonderful Jacky Fleming. \nCome along every other Wednesday evening to join in with our singing\, celebration and joy! \nWe’d like to thank our amazing funders Arts Council England for supporting this project \nAbout Scary Little Girls \nScary Little Girls is a vibrant\, hard-working production hub whose commitment and passion for theatrical and artistic storytelling is borne out by the variety of scary little work we have created and the support we have from our scary little artists and audiences.

SUMMARY:Salon de la Vie - Season Two - Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie
DESCRIPTION:For your diary – Salon de la Vie explores the life of Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie on the 5th August! Join us online at 19.30 \nWatch the Salon on YouTube Support us on Ko-Fi \nNo More Single Story! \nIn this Salon we look at the power of story to break the dignity of a people\, or repair that broken dignity to paraphrase the fabulous Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie. We’ll explore how authors from different countries have written about colonisation\, its hold on narratives to control minds – and see what happens when characters escape their confines! And we’ll be exploring stories *about* stories too. \nDid you know? – Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie was obsessed with trying ginger beer as a little girl reading English children’s books?! \nOr that when Carly Simon wrote You’re So Vain not one but at least three of her famous ex boyfriends tried to claim the song was about them! \nSawing a woman in half has been a popular magic trick since the 1920’s\, but it was magician Dorothy Dietrich\, who established herself as a leading magician as a teenager in the 1980’s. She has been called the “First woman to saw a man in half.” \nWatch the Salon \n  \nAbout Salon de la Vie \nHosted by Scary Little Girls’ Rebecca Mordan\, Salon de la Vie is a series of fortnightly 15 – 20 minute extravaganzas of songs\, storytelling\, merriment and conversation\, focusing each time on an awe-inspiring\, remarkable and brave human from the world of film\, music\, literature and history\, drawing parallels with the achievements of activists today\, to celebrate how people positively embody the change they want to see in the world\, for themselves and for others. And we’re super proud that each salon has a custom illustration provided by the wonderful Jacky Fleming. \nCome along every other Wednesday evening to join in with our singing\, celebration and joy! \nWe’d like to thank our amazing funders Arts Council England for supporting this project \nAbout Scary Little Girls \nScary Little Girls is a vibrant\, hard-working production hub whose commitment and passion for theatrical and artistic storytelling is borne out by the variety of scary little work we have created and the support we have from our scary little artists and audiences.

SUMMARY:Salon de la Vie - Suffrage on Stage
DESCRIPTION:It’s 1908. Over dinner at a table at the Criterion Restaurant in London\, two actresses hatch a plan…  \nNo longer content with ‘adding to the gaiety of the nation while suffering from great wrongs arising out of sex disability’\, the time had come for change… The Actresses Franchise League was born and soon boasted such names as Ellen Terry\, Cicely Hamilton\, Edith Craig\, JM Barrie and George Bernard Shaw amongst its supporters. These suffragette sisters used the tricks of the trade to help win the vote! \nAt our Salon celebrating them\, our host will regale you with songs and script from their campaigns. Join in and speak your mind in a singalong with your sisters\, and use our songsheet above to join in on the night! Huge thanks to the supremely talented Claire Ingleheart for this recording of ‘Let Us All Speak Our Minds’ to help you learn the tune! \nhttps://scarylittlegirls.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/Let-Us-All-Speak-Our-Minds-2-verses-1.mp3 \nSalon de la Vie is Scary Little Girls’ contribution to fun and feminism in a time of COVID-19! \nOur fortnightly 15 -20 minute extravaganzas of songs\, storytelling\, merriment and conversation\, focus each time on an awe-inspiring\, remarkable and brave woman from the world of film\, music\, literature and history\, drawing parallels with the achievements of activists today\, to celebrate how people positively embody the change they want to see in the world\, for themselves and for others.

SUMMARY:Salon de la Vie - from Freya to Fairy Tale
DESCRIPTION:When did women become so passive in stories?  \nAncient tales and sagas feature active\, dynamic women\, as powerful and creative as the men. More modern tales have relegated women to more passive roles – helpmeets\, companions\, and devices to move the story along. \nIn our Salon on the 20th May\, we’ll be exploring this trend – when and how did it happen? Where did some of our modern characters come from\, and what’s their origin story? Did you know that ‘Anonymous’ was usually a woman’? That Snow White started out as the Nordic Goddess Freya? And have you heard how Cornish fairytale heroine Duffy beat the Devil? \nWe’d love to hear from you in advance – what’s your favourite feminist fairy (or other? ) tale? Message us! \nJoin us on Facebook Live from 7.30 on the 20th May for 20 minutes of fabulous feminist fun – mix up an Apple Martini in advance to get in the mood! \n \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \nSalon de la Vie is Scary Little Girls’ contribution to fun and feminism in a time of COVID-19! \nOur fortnightly 15 -20 minute extravaganzas of songs\, storytelling\, merriment and conversation\, focus each time on an awe-inspiring\, remarkable and brave woman from the world of film\, music\, literature and history\, drawing parallels with the achievements of activists today\, to celebrate how people positively embody the change they want to see in the world\, for themselves and for others.

SUMMARY:Salon de la Vie - Yo Her Her and a Bottle of Rum!
DESCRIPTION:‘What do I lack?’ \nWar correspondent\, author\, journalist and criminologist\, this ‘lady reporter’ was fascinated by those who kill and the criminal justice (or injustice) around them. One of her works\, still influential today\, divided killers into six categories\, based on their purported reasons for killing. Another featured a charismatic pirate\, Captain Lovel\, captaining the good ship Piskie – but did what the captain lacked reveal something about who they really were…? \nThis week’s Salonista also… \n1.  Wrote the ripping yarn Moonraker about piracy\, cross dressing and the Haitian Revolution!\n\n2.  Was part of the Newlyn School of Cornish Artists\n\n3. At the outbreak of WW1\, reported from the front line in Belgium and then Holland and France to send vital info on the state of the Red Cross hospitals there\, and the Women’s Army \nOh – and she had a famous uncle. But less about him\, find out more about her! Join us for a Pirate Mule and a bite sized chunk of feminist fun on Wednesday 6th May\, from 7.30\, on Facebook Live! Get in the mood early and message us your favourite female pirate or criminal – Anne Bonny? Sayyida al Hurra? Ching Shih? \n \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \nSalon de la Vie is Scary Little Girls’ contribution to fun and feminism in a time of COVID-19! \nOur fortnightly 15 -20 minute extravaganzas of songs\, storytelling\, merriment and conversation\, focus each time on an awe-inspiring\, remarkable and brave woman from the world of film\, music\, literature and history\, drawing parallels with the achievements of activists today\, to celebrate how people positively embody the change they want to see in the world\, for themselves and for others.
