DAFT - Body of Work
PRESENTED BY Melanie McKercher
This show has Audio Description.
‘Body of Work’ is a poetry show that explores what it means to be a woman with a body that is chronically ill, disabled, and plus sized. There will be laughter, tears, wombs, and boobs. It is hard work loving a body that society deems unworthy, but this show shouts: all bodies are good bodies!
