MARCH 2023: BENEFIT FOR UKRAINE 

In just over a month we put together this benefit performance for women & girls in Ukraine.  Our sell-out performance of The Government Inspector  raised £2,525 for Action Aid/DEC Ukrainian Humanitarian Appeal, and were in the to 5% of thousands of fundraisers that month!

 

 A huge THANK YOU! for all those who came to support us on the night and to the great many who donated online. An especial big shout-out to our generous Australian friends!

MAY 2023  We began performing in care homes and community centres thanks to our new association with  Art Explora, an international foundation that inspires new encounters between arts and audiences – locally, nationally and internationally

SEPTEMBER 2023  OW! has been invited to perform our flashmob "Visible/Invisible" at the Urban Elephant Festival, London, Sept 16th, 2023.
