What’s the idea?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We’d like to explore developing The Dame Show as a traditional game show style piece of theatre based around the topic of women\u2019s health, focusing on the issues faced by modern day women in medical settings and the significant lack of research made into female health and hormones\/ the understanding of the female body.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Using interactive game show structures e.g. bingo, blind date, the generation game as well as comedy, musical numbers, physical comedy theatre and outrageous props\/costumes we intend to take our audiences on a fun but educational journey, exploring how medical research has been extremely one sided over the years and the effects this lack of research has on how women receive care today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We want to be inspired by true stories of women and their medical experiences (gathered via workshops that we could run as part of the development phase and through research and interviews with medical health professionals to help inform and balance the content), and find a way to work these into sketches, songs and games that will make up the performance as well as through vox pops\/voice overs. We will want to research statistics and work alongside medical professionals to make sure that we are raising awareness of the truth behind what the female health experience actually is, clearing up myths behind the Gender Pain Gap and bringing together communities through their experiences, encouraging conversations and maybe even bringing about some kind of change in the way women\u2019s health is viewed by society.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whether you are a woman or not we are aiming to make a show that is funny and relatable with something for everyone whether it is comedy songs (in the style of Victoria Wood\/Flo and Joan), Slap the Pony style comedy sketches, or just good old fashioned game show games\/quizzes (with a feminine twist!)\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We believe this is a really important topic to raise awareness of; we think it is important to share these stories, to believe women\u2019s pain and to support the women in your lives so they know they are not alone.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We hope the structure of the game show element mixed with physical theatre can be a way to connect these stories and truths to our audiences with a funny and personable show where we aim to lift up and inspire confidence and joy in what it is to be a women\/what it is to have women in our lives, and why we should fight for and support better medical research\/health benefits that aren\u2019t one size fits all!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
