Greenham Women Everywhere
Scary Little Girls in partnership with The Heroine Collective interviewed 100 women from the Greenham Common Peace Camp. They commissioned Sarah to create a spoken word piece with original music for thier UK tour.
Told through the voices of the fascinating women who were there at camp, what life was like, why they were there, it’s meaning then and how it resonates today.
Visitors were invited to crawl inside a tent where they could listen to the soundscape by composer Sarah Llewellyn, combining snippets of the numerous oral testimonies – memories, stories, poems and songs from the Greenham Women – with original music by Sarah.

Testimonial
Sarah was able to draw together a narrative that illuminated the unique, rich voices of these women and transformed them from anecdote into art. Her soundscapes both elevate precious material and present it to audiences in a way that bridges time and difference, bringing listener and content together in sympathy, intelligence and passion. A remarkable talent.
