NOTES ON BEING A LADY 
New Creatives is co-funded by Arts Council England and BBC Arts

Based on a poem by Kadish Morris, Notes on Being a Lady challenges the choreography of rules on femininity that society expects women to perform. In following the instructions, there is a battle between the reflections they see and who they want to be. 

​

For black women, dealing with intersections of oppression, race and gender, expectations of behaviour tire the mind and body. On a daily basis they must confront the self and dismantle the rules to live by their own definitions.
