Commission for Back to the Bone Festival

 PRG member Rachel Rimmer-Piekarczyk is developing a new work, In the Midst of Precarity, in collaboration with independent dance artist Lisa Kendall. In the Midst of Precarity has been commissioned by the ACE funded Back to the Bone Festival. It will use scored dance improvisation as a methodology to explore our lived experiences as women in the midst of precarity. The outcome will be a performance that offers a reflection on intergenerational female friendship, fuelled by 17 years of collaborating and exploring. 
 
Back to the Bone festival will take place on Saturday  6th June at The Ballroom, Fenton Town Hall, Stoke-on-Trent. Back to the Bone is a multi-disciplinary art festival (Dance , Theatre , Singing , Spoken words ) that celebrates the power, complexity, and beauty of womanhood in all its forms. The festival aims to confront silences, break taboos, and amplify the voices that are often overlooked or silenced. This is a space for healing and honesty where the audience can engage with different art forms, exploring themes of truth, vulnerability, and the raw, radical beauty of being a woman or identifying with womanhood. 
All the art companies involved in the festival have been commissioned to create a piece around the Festival theme .
