Mean Feet Dance

I Am Joan is an autobiographical one woman show by our Artistic Director, Viv Gordon.

A hopeful comedy about a woman in recovery from trauma finding empowerment by connecting with various inspiring Joans, such as Joan Collins, Joan Jett and Joan of Arc, all of whom embody elusive qualities of resilience and self-belief.

Think Dynasty meets Joan of Arc with lashings of cherry bakewells, a heavy dose of glam rock and tissues for all at the end. Irreverent, laugh out loud, hold your breath and weep silently; this show will stay with you long after you watch it. It is currently touring the South West with accompanying wrap around activity with arts venues aimed at increasing access and inclusion for artists and audiences with mental health issues.

"This piece is a call to arms" DERYCK NEWLAND, PAVILION DANCE SOUTH WEST.

A beautifully paced piece. At once both touchingly personal and universal in its themes. I am still haunted by it" RUTH KAPADIA, DIVERSITY MANAGER ARTS COUNCIL ENGLAND.
