Part Three
a performative presentation, introducing the interactive web-based project www.makeyourownherstory.org
The website provides a number of creative tasks which users are invited to complete, before uploading the documentation onto the site. Part Three describes a number of these, as well as presenting varied responses to these tasks.
The performance also involves an invitation, which calls on the women in the audience to participate in a daring and defiant task at the end of the piece.
