Young women are constantly faced with criticisms about their choices. The piece portrays the constant internal battle behind their calm exterior and questions unrealistic ideals of ‘Perfect Young Ladies’. It encourages young women to liberate themselves from critical opinions and share their body with the world on their own terms.

This piece of work has been selected to be showcased on several digital film festivals including:

U.Dance Digital Festival
2Faced Dance Company Multi-Story Festival
South East Dance 2020 Vision Screendance Festival
Digital Dance Active 2020

A brilliant thing, also a really beautiful articulation of the performers' bodies.

Really reassuring to see very young women very informed and able to share an important vital message to inspire other young women to feel more confident.

Well considered, and very good use of the close-up shot. And I loved the different frames used throughout the films.

This is such a powerful and important message from Project Female in this atmospheric screen dance. It is so reassuring to know these young women are informed and confident in what it means to be female today and how they can assert themselves. The film was really considered in the frames it used to explore a range of depths in the choreography and their chosen site. I really enjoyed the close up work and the sections of group unison. I liked that this performance was real and meaningful to these young people. It was not a theme they were exploring - it was their voice, which made it all the more authentic
