After Judy Chicago

Creative Director, Host & Singer Morna Burdon

Picture
As part of the Audacious Women Festival and in the run up to International Women’s Day 
2019 Morna Burdon created a 40th anniversary live theatre celebration of The Dinner Party – an
iconic exhibition conceived by artist Judy Chicago commemorating over 1000 women hidden 
from history. 

This concept is now available for hire and adaptation to a range of settings and circumstances. 

As part of the event the guests ( audience)  are invited to meet, greet and eat  at a large triangular dining table
 mimicking the original artwork and decorated with place settings honouring women from that piece. 
There is also an invitation to wear costume and come as an audacious or inspirational woman of choice. ( See slidehow !)

If interested in discussing how this might be adapted for your venue or setting, please get in touch.

The event includes Morna hosting, singing, telling stories associated with the original artwork
and behind some of her songs . She also introduces guest performers who, on this occasion , were Americana
 singer/songwriter Martha L Healy & rapper/singer/songwriter Nnena McKenzie. 

The audience chat with each other, mingle with the performers, exchange stories about the women on their 
place settings or can take photos of other audience members whose costumes take their fancy.

           “ A beautiful, relaxed, celebratory evening” “ A unique idea with such talented women”
                  “ I am sure if Judy Chicago had been in Edinburgh she would have loved it”


NB After Judy Chicago is available to mixed audiences. Ticket prices may vary.
