We celebrate real life stories of women (and occasionally men) on the canals in thoroughly researched, accurately presented performances, publications & audio. We are passionate about celebrating the history of the UK waterways, seeking out the stories of women’s involvement, and sharing this history with others through artistic engagement. We believe in preserving this history for future generations, enabling local communities to come together to celebrate their heritage, and strengthen these communities through attendance at live performances and workshops, as well as engaging in audio, video and written material. We create artistic spaces in settings that would not normally support the arts, such as boatyards and other historic waterside locations, bringing communities together to see their history in new and exciting ways, focusing on inclusivity and affordability. We create and strengthen partnerships with historic waterside locations, and in doing so enable thorough research and archiving to take place, ensuring local history is preserved. We support and encourage collaboration with and between other solo performers and small companies, thereby building a strong waterways theatre presence and promoting excellence in performance-based work that responds to life on or around the water
