In August, WAM will create a new piece of devised theatre entitled ‘Women & Technology’ during the WordxWord Festival in Pittsfield.

WAM will spend five days as artists in residence, opening up the devising process to the public and completing our residency by presenting a public performance of the material created during the festival. The piece will center around the impact of technology on young women’s lives and will include interviews with community members as springboard material.

The project will be directed by WAM co-founder Leigh Strimbeck and marks WAM’s official launch of devising original works of ensemble theatre that center around issues of importance in the lives of women.

This project is sponsored in part by a grant from the Pittsfield Cultural Council.
