The Living Room Theatre (LRT) creates sensory performances that bring women’s stories out from under the carpet and into the light. Led by Artistic Director Michelle St Anne, LRT blends theatre, dance, and music to challenge systemic violence, provoke empathy, and transform how we see the female body and trauma.
