The Magdalena Project, founded in Wales in 1986, is a dynamic cross-cultural network, providing a platform for women’s performance work, a forum for critical discussion, and a source of support, inspiration and performance training. It functions as a central nexus for diverse companies, individual artists and scholars whose common interest lies in a commitment to ensuring the visibility of women’s endeavour in the field of performance. Through this network, isolated practitioners across the globe have found an appropriate critical recognition of their work. Festivals, meetings, lectures, workshops, productions, documentation, books, films, the edition of newsletters and a yearly theatre journal – The Open Page, and this website, are the means through which the cross cultural connections have been achieved. More than 100 documented gatherings, initially in Wales but now spanning Europe, the Americas and Australasia, demonstrate the global presence of this Project. Publication and academic attention worldwide also evidence the regard with which this work is held within its field internationally. The network currently spans more than 50 countries,
with autonomous national groups organising festivals, symposia and
workshops, promoting performances and hosting local events on a regular
basis, including:
