Written and directed by Jo Morris

Featuring Emily Brennan, Natalie Holmwood and Michele Anderson

Gongi, Jean and Amelia Violet span three generations of women from the same familty. As Amelia Violet dances into womanhood she reflects upon the incredible stories of women in her past for guidance and inspiration.

With an intricate and evocative live soundscape, Lipstick and Hessian traces the symbols, secrets and inner strength of a feminine underworld throughout the last century via personal accounts of three hot-blooded Australian sheilas.

"...red for naked earth and dust and sunburn and blood.. and lipstick. Red for an Australian woman."

This work is a personal journey for writer/director Jo Morris, who bases Lipstick and Hessian on the incredible stories of her own grandmother and great grandmother.
