international women's day

INTERNATIONAL WOMeN"S DAY


the women of the world gather
to celebrate acheivements in social, economic and political areas.
As a Player in the Ruby Bloomers Women's Circus, I'd like to recognise the achievement of these Blue Mountains women -past and present- who have been involved in creating productions, characters and entertainment for nearly 8 years.
The Ruby Bloomer's Women's Circus uses circus based theater to express issues such as women's oppression, different roles of women in society and absurdities of womens life.
the women of Ruby Bloomer range in age from 18- 55, with some not starting their clowning life until their late 40's. The women, many mothers and working have enriched their own lives, inspired others and continue to grow in strength as they develop new skills and explore ideas.

THE WOMEN"S ROOM
Another Blue Mountains hub of women's social and creativity is born from one womans dream to help other woman, lost in the dreary routine of life, to discover their latent creative juices. For over 5 years the idea has grown to a much loved community hub, culminating in an annual festival and art show.

Birth Hour
the Blue Mountains Community Radio, bluFM 89.1 fridays 12-2pm: informing and empowering women to own their birth space.



these are just a few examples of the wonderful acheivements of women in the Blue Mountains.
