Invisible Women Festival 19-24 February

Spare Tyre returns with a provocative programme from a range of overlooked women artists and communities.

Bodies, babies, assisted dying, courage, politics, and overcoming challenges are explored through dance, visual art and theatre. 

During our 40th year, this programme celebrates Spare Tyre’s roots in the feminist movement of the 1970s, revealing the hidden stories of the women artists and communities we work with. 

The Festival includes:

The Promise - A new play exploring the moral complexities of the personal choice of assisted dying. Tickets still available for Saturday 24 February

A Tree Without Leaves - A dance project led by Maria Ghoumrassi, exploring women’s identity. Thursday 22 and Saturday 24 February 2018 (workshops and performances)
