WOMEN OF OUR TIME –
ON WHOSE SHOULDERS WE STAND
Performed by Ruth Thomas & Company
Women of Our Time is a celebration of 400 years of Bermudians. Written and directed by Ruth Thomas and choreographed by Conchita Ming, it will be a tribute to significant women of Bermuda – their strengths, struggles and successes. Through dance and drama, it will provide a kaleidoscopic view of the rich, colourful, binding threads of the social, cultural and historical tapestry woven by the women of Bermuda.
Incorporating the history of women on the Island from the 1600s to current times, it will focus on the contribution made by individuals and organisations to the development of Bermuda. Included will be suffragettes, artists, nurses, teachers, parliamentarians, mothers and more. The performance will showcase local actors and Bermudian dancers working both here and abroad.
Conchita Ming will be introducing a new piece of choreography created especially for this performance to add to her renowned choreography on the lives of significant Bermudian women. Ms. Thomas’ Mosaics are both informative and highly entertaining and should not be missed.
