... INTENCIONALITIES

All of this, out of the only thing that is left to them in Patriarchy: The powers that stem from their own life experience (vitality), which includes not only “experience” as such, but their dreams, visions, desires and ideals (subjectivity) and their contributions to the reconceptualization of the relationship between social and ecological interactions.

The geniality and main contribution of feminism has been its capacity to turn the knowledge that emerges from women’s NAMING of their common subordinate roles into its epistemological foundation, an epistemology that reveals the nature of domination as a political issue in all relationships.

Of the theatre show

2006 - 2008

• Produce a musical theatre show that combines music, dance, oral stories, testimonies, plastic art and dramatization.
• Present the show in public theatres for a general audience, especially in the Latin American and Caribbean region as the starting point.
• Take the show to community, national and international events, connecting it with other initiatives.

2009

Create a methodological package where artistic groups, women’s groups and organizations and institutions can create, recreate and expand their own production of the show by having access to the package that will contain: a copy of the book in which the show is based,  the script of the show, a CD the music of the project, an interactive CD Rom and a video that documents how the process was constructed.

Of the process of popularization with and beyond the show

2.  Incorporate or link to the project other artists that emerge from the workshops and activities.
3.  Incorporate participant’s testimonies about committed artistic expression that contributes to movement building though artistic expression.
4. Create and work with an Advisory Group comprised of feminists in different disciplines who will participate in the process of creation of the conceptual framework of the show and other activities designed by the collective itself.
5. Create and work with an International Advisory Group comprised of feminists that will help to “internationalize” the  project with their imput all along the process of preparation and help seek for creative ways to translate the theatre show and help it to be presented in different countries and events where the opportunity appears or is created.

Of the process of research, documentation and dissemination
