WRESTLELADSWRESTLE is a new live performance by acclaimed artist and choreographer Jenni Jackson, in association with Sheffield Theatres. Drawing on her real-life teenage career as the under 50kg British Judo Champion, Jenni explosively combines theatre, dance, judo and pro-wrestling to transform the Playhouse into a battleground of joy and reclamation.

Jenni brings an almighty Girl Gang to join her in this ambitious and exhilarating theatrical event, with a community group of women and non-binary people taking part in the exciting physical project, recruited via Sheffield Theatres’ Creative Engagement team.

They acted as an on-stage chorus, exploring how women take up space, how we use our bodies, and asking "what does empowerment feel like?"

Sheffield's Girl Gang take to the Playhouse stage this week!
