The Shim Shammy Shims – ‘Let’s face the music and dance’

Le Donne – are two ardent females of uncertain age and time, with no fixed language or style and an unpredictable mission. Neo Post-Goth, Post-Hip and Post-Hippy, neo Absurd (but posted) empassioned early on by Theatre of the Absurd, Artaud and Dada, they are formlessly unencumbered by their posts, alchemising their backgrounds in acting, music, poetry, art: live and installation to the strings of the mandolin. Inscrutable, wise and never cosy, they leave a little tremble in their wake… ‘ http://www.myspace.com/ledonnedonnedonne

Proceeds 50% to be shared between the artists and 50% to Black Women’s Rape Action Project and Women Against Rape

Both organisations are based on self-help and provide support, legal information and advocacy. We campaign for justice and protection for all women and girls, including asylum seekers, who have suffered sexual, domestic and/or racist violence.

WAR was founded in 1976. It has won changes in the law, such as making rape in marriage a crime, set legal precedents and achieved compensation for many women. BWRAP was founded in 1991. It focuses on getting justice for women of colour, bringing out the particular discrimination they face. It has prevented the deportation of many rape survivors.

Both organisations are multiracial.

Volunteers welcome.
