The Shouting Softly Project by Fliss Tattersall on WEDNESDAY 24th September 2025.
The ‘SHOUTING Softly Swindon’ project has involved a series of creative workshops for young women aged 14-25. There’s also been community events, community group visits and interviews with the aim of creating content.
This has been used to write a new play inspired by historic and contemporary female experience in Swindon. The project has received generous support from Arts Council England, and our partners.
The design of each workshop responds to research about female stories – working at close quarters with our project partners. They are:
-
STEAM
-
Prime Theatre
-
Museum and Art Gallery Swindon
-
Create Studios
-
Hub Swindon
-
Central Library
-
Local Studies Library and Swindon Heritage Preservation Trust.
