Menarche

Menarche is an incredibly cathartic and important piece aimed at reclaiming the power and magic of menstruation, a catalyst to remove generational shame, stigma, and traumatic representations throughout generations of misrepresentation.

This work forms part of my PhD in Composition at Sydney Conservatorium of Music and was performed at the Parade Theatre in October 2024, along with three other short chamber operas - all sitting under the title of MOTHER and exploring this idea and experience from very different angles. MOTHER was directed by the legendary Lindy Hume and my opera Menarche was conducted by the fabulous Stephen Mould.
