YWC Sandy Spring Museum Performances (June 24, Sandy Spring Museum)
PlumDragoness "Transit Tales"- A solo performance of multi-media, dance, poetry & live music with visual projections that takes the audience on an urban influenced journey with communal & alienating factors that contribute to moments of "public transportation.
Bonnie MacAllister: "What the Water Wore" is a multimedia piece featuring live performance, projected film, prerecorded audio, and a small amount of audience participation. The piece describes the fundamental right to clean water, the threats faced globally in our challenged ecosystems, through the perspective of the water herself if she were a woman living a village with no well or access to this life source.
“Gertrude for Dinner” is a physical theatre piece about women’s relationship with consuming food. Inspiration for this work comes from a traditional and contemporary meme, the image of eating spaghetti while crying. At first this is strikingly hilarious, but deconstruction reveals an issue with roots that span centuries. This image has been in western art consciousness from its Italian Renaissance origins in situational comedies known as Commedia Dell’arte. Today it can be viewed on hard-to-avoid websites such as eatingandcrying.com. The goal of this work is to show the resource of food as a multi-layered energy source for all women.

Pussy Riot:
“Meanwhile, the girls, who are accused of involvement in our group are still continuing a hunger strike, now head of prison refuses to provide them with personal items, books and linens.[...]
But our team is not going to give up and stop their activities. The new song is already written. Now we are monitoring the situation and choose the right moment to speak, until all the forces we go to the arrested girls.[...]
We believe that every person is very ill in prison (or jail), regardless of their gender identity, the presence or absence of children. We are against the sexist approach to the Advocacy of political prisoners and ask for help all concerned to change the preventive measure to two people who find themselves behind bars now, regardless of their media fame, gender and whether they are mothers or not.[...]
Thanks to everyone who supports us and helps in the protection of prisoners in our business.
P.S. Beautiful pictures of the arrested girls are not going to give, they are worthy of attention and protection regardless of their appearance.
With warm greetings, Pussy Riot.”
