A ONE-WOMAN show exploring female uprising, investigating our relationships with public space, our bodies and each other will be coming to the North-East this month.

The Witham, in Barnard Castle, County Durham, will host the show, When Did You Stop Dancing, on Wednesday, October 17, from 7.30pm.

Performed by Rachel McBride, the true story of the Dancing Plague of 1518, where one woman’s “boogying” led to hundreds of women taking to the streets.

A Witham spokeswoman said the show “explores the female relationship with public space, dancing and what women do with their bodies in 2018.

“It questions how we occupy space, how we can re-appropriate our bodies, and find pockets of release within the everyday. It’s about cheeky, gentle rebellion, peaceful protest. Not a dance show but an intimately staged one woman show, that may take audiences to some dark places but with tenderness and some truly, terrible jokes.”

The show is created by What a Little Bird Told Me Theatre, a Manchester-based company who are dedicated to bringing audiences more female representation.

What A Little Bird Theatre was founded in 2014 to celebrate female stories.

The show is part of The Witham's Pay What You Decide campaign meaning the audience decide how much to donate for the show.
