Winner Best Spoken Word at Sydney Fringe 2019 and featured in All About Women 2020 at the Sydney Opera House, Generation Women celebrates and amplifies women’s voices and creativity. Each month, six women of note read an original piece on a theme. Of those women, one is in her 20s, her 30s, her 40s, her 50s, her 60s, and her 70s+. Our diverse line-ups will make you laugh, cry, and think. Generation Women is a unique, intimate storytelling night that brings together women of all ages. 

Theme: MY WILD SELF: STORIES OF BEING UNTAMED

We’re all wild women, underneath. This month, we invited our all- star line-up to tell us a story of a time they broke the rules, big or small. A time they got in touch with their inner goddess/CEO/bitch. A time they were untamed. Maybe they quit a job, or a relationship, or saying sorry too damn much. A time they felt powerful and strong and just a little bit wild. Whatever they share, expect our usual blend of heart-warming, hilarious, and hair-raising in a night that celebrates the wit and wisdom of women of all ages.
