I'll be working the door.

FROM THE PRESS RELEASE:
This woman-created, multimedia spectacle features performances and works by 40 artists from
France, Switzerland, Mali, Côte d'Ivoire, China, Ukraine, Netherlands, and the US honoring diverse
female icons. Each icon will be brought to life with an original composition, a narrative film and dance.
From Eve to Ishtar, Joan of Arc to Kali, and more, these unique retellings aim to inform, empower,
and inspire. In times of war and conflict, “Bring us your women” is uttered to establish dominance, instill fear,
and subjugate. But underneath is a recognition of women’s strength and Her essential role in society,
whether a neighborhood or a nation. Bring Us Your Women echoes that recognition and expressesreclamation at a time when women around the world are reclaiming their power.

We're almost ready to print the show program, but we need donations towards defraying production costs.
Individual and
business sponsorship (levels from $50 to $500) will go a long way towards travel and production expenses. Backed in part by grants from the Passim Iguana Music
Fund and the Somerville Arts Council, and in part by local organizations
who are granting funds for lighting and sound expenses, the artists,
crew and organizers have all donated significant time and talent. We need you! Please consider sponsoring Bring Us Your Women: An Arts Odyssey.
Deadline is 5pm on Tuesday, February 26th.
