MY FIRST AND LAST SOLO SHOW to Open at Campbelltown Arts Centre
Natalie Rose co-devised the work with her daughter, Mabelle Rose, and mother, Cheryl.
Campbelltown Arts Centre will present My First and Last Solo Show, a new work created and performed by Western Sydney artist Natalie Rose and produced by Performing Lines, September 17-19.
Described as a show "for anyone who is a mother or has a mother," the work follows three generations — Natalie, her daughter Mabelle and Natalie's mother Cheryl — as Rose explores the joy, frustration and unconditional love within relationships between mothers and daughters.
Natalie Rose Explores Three Generations of Motherhood
Blending humor with personal storytelling, My First and Last Solo Show examines family dysfunction and the ways a person's own experiences can directly or indirectly influence how they parent.
The 70-minute work explores memory, love and loss while finding humor and vulnerability in everyday family life.
Rose, a mother and one-third of the performance collective POST, created the work with contributions from fellow artists and parents Clare Britton, Clare Grant, Emma Saunders, Jodee Mundy and James Peter Brown. The production was also co-devised with Rose's daughter, Mabelle Rose.
