Rift Cuts began as a solution to the all-male lineups frequently seen at open mic’ events. Over a series of ten workshops for women, the writers covered aspects of literature and performance from vocal technique, breath and projection to collaborative performance and physical expression. A great success, Rift Cuts culminated in a short performance at Manchester Town Hall as part of International Women’s Week, and a full show at the Yard Theatre in March 2010.

This e-book compiles some of the pieces included in the inaugural Rift Cuts performance, and it is the first of more to come:  more writing, more publishing, and more live performance from women writing in Manchester.
