The WAAS is an artist collective formed in 2016 with the purpose of activating women’s art. Principal artists Sharon Bennett and Sarah Dixon collaborate to make live art, performance and socially engaged works.
Latest: Join The WAAS Club
With the launch of The WAAS Club we are now here for activating more women’s art over in our membership club.
You can join us for free or join a paid level for extra resources, treats, exclusives and arty connection.
All members, including free, are invited to our first online coffee morning on 22 July.
Recent Projects
listening/shouting is a performance-film made for The Baby Makers: Making History. The project was a National Lottery Heritage Funded project in 2024, with Stroud’s Museum in the Park. We listened to stories of birth, as told by elder women and women of the global majority in Stroud District. Out of this listening we made a performance response. The WAAS were selected for a Walking the Land residency at the Gingerbread House, Oakbrook Farm, Stroud in November 2024. We presented our work at Stroud’s Museum in the Park in February 2025.
