 The
Magdalena Project is an international network of women in contemporary
theatre.
"If there is an overall objective, it has been
to create the artistic and economic structures to enable women
to work and to get that work seen and seriously recognised in
a wider cultural context." Jill Greenhalgh, Founding Director,
the Magdalena Project
Founded in 1986 in Cardiff, Wales, the Magdalena
Project is an organisation committed to creating opportunities
for women performers to make new and original work. In 1999, the
Project's revenue funding from the Welsh Arts Council was cut, and
the Cardiff office closed. Rather than despair at this loss of funds,
the Project has chosen to regard this as an opportunity to redefine
its structures, taking advantage of new technologies and allowing
the global network to steer the future direction of the Project.
The Project continues to publish annually The
Open Page, maintain a web site, and actively support women in
contemporary theatre around the world. Between 1986 and 1999, the
Magdalena Project has:
- produced performances, workshops, conferences and collaborations
- hosted international festivals
- gathered a wealth of archive material relating to women and
performance
- published newsletters, journals and books
- acted as a consultant to women's theatre events around the world.

the Magdalena Project web site, www.themagdalenaproject.org.
