Well Behaved Womxn...

Well Behaved Womxn... is an evening of dance centering and uplifting the tales of women who have long been overlooked, undertold, or misrepresented. Inspired by the famous quote "Well behaved women seldom make history," this production reclaims feminist narratives through movement, research, and community collaboration.

There are two versions of our production of Well Behaved Womxn.... The Junior version of the show features dancers from the Ambo Dance Theatre School and is geared toward all ages with its family-friendly and sensory-friendly format. The regular version features Ambo Dance Theatre’s professional company members and is catered to a slightly more mature audience base (ages 10+).

While these productions are both unique and complete in and of themselves, they are a series of dance works celebrating the underrepresented stories of womxn who have changed the world and not received their due credit! Based on the saying "Well behaved womxn seldom make history," this production serves to empower the current and rising generation by connecting them with the stories and figures that paved the way for their ascension.

Well Behaved Womxn... Jr. and the professional company production of Well Behaved Womxn... both center on womxn’s stories, the professional company pieces are longer form works created and performed by professionals.
