Written
by Chris Fry, The Way of Magdalena chronicles the main activities
of the first decade or so of The Magdalena Project. Starting with
the explosion onto the theatre scene in 1986 of the international
women’s theatre festival Magdalena ’86, the book traces
the various lines of development that rippled out from that cathartic
event. It examines the work of the founder and Artistic Director,
Jill Greenhalgh, and follows how her vision interacted with and inspired
more and more women to develop their own work and visions. It explores
many of the events that took place within this period, including those
which became the first of a series of events, such as the Transit
Festivals in Denmark, and the Festivals Voix de Femmes in Belgium.
The book also delves behind the scenes to examine the management structures
that evolved as The Magdalena Project grew and took on a life of its
own. Often using first hand experience and interviews as well as original
documentation, the book attempts to recreate and present the ways
of thinking that were prevalent at the time. It also brings an objectivity
that proffers a useful perspective to readers wishing to find out
more about the early years of this still growing international network.
