Under the artistic direction of Laura Kenyon, WomanEwer provides a connection between women through the arts and offers a safe space to explore ideas around discrimination, abuse and violence using movement, voice and visual art.
We Are Not Beautiful is WomanEwer’s vibrant and colourful new full length contemporary dance production which shines light on the women that protested against the Miss World Contest in 1970. Inspired by their protest slogan “We Are Not Ugly, We Are Not Beautiful, We’re Angry!”, the production recreates some of the narratives applied to the female body, and the clothes designed to be worn by women. With a diverse cast of six women, We Are Not Beautiful is highly physical, fun, loud and bold, celebrating womanhood, survival and strength. We are Not Beautiful is currently in development and will premiere in 2026.
We Are Not Beautiful is WomanEwer’s follow up to the company’s powerful and deeply affecting debut production I Have a Bruise, an autobiographical advocacy piece for survivors of sexual abuse to have their own voice. I Have a Bruise is touring in Spring 2026.
KAH’LOCA is a multigenerational hispanic-styled outdoor work of dance-theatre. Dressed in bright colours with flamboyant funky headpieces, 6 women aged 13-60 use movement and voice to challenge the narrative of what it means to be a woman and bring to public attention the sheer scale of violence against women. KAH’LOCA is touring in Summer 2026.
