Women's Project


I recently attended a panel at CUNY regarding green theater.  Towards the end the topic of incorporating environmental awareness into the context of the art itself was brought up and discussed.  This presented a wonderful banter about art reflecting life and how to incorporate current global issues without the art feeling forced or the playwright feeling forced to include a "fad" topic.  

Well, the Women's Project has done it!  They have embodied what I had just been discussing into an event not to missed called GLOBAL COOLING: THE WOMEN CHILL created by the artists of the WP LAB. The event itself will be site specific, FREE, and include both media and visual art installations.  Very cool indeed.

Global warming--do you find it chilling? Let the artists of the Women’s Project Lab lead you on a journey through the World Financial Center.  GLOBAL COOLING: THE WOMEN CHILL explores environmental awareness through six short theater pieces (described below) that use spoken word, song, dance, yoga, and repurposed garbage. 
In Green We Trust!
