Led by Associate Artists, the all female Pigeon Theatre Company, The Art of Conversation returns to the greenroom for its second year running to discuss the craft of female communication.

Why is it always ‘gossip’ when women talk and not when men talk to each other? 

Who says women ‘talk more than men’?

How and why do women communicate differently with different people?

This year the project is being supported by Manchester City Council and marks the centenary of International Women’s Day, celebrating 100 years of women’s achievements.

Over the course of eight weekly meetings a group of twenty local Manchester women, age 18 and over, will convene at the greenroom bar to muse, contemplate, ponder and generally natter over tea and biscuits.

This blog will follow their progress.
