Black Women – State Of The Union

Black Women – State Of The Union is a theatrical ensemble work of new words and video, insight and comedy that examines those dramatic characteristics of contemporary black womanhood. Stops along this journey include a visit with an upper-middle class mom of the future exploring childcare options while coming face-to-face with the stereotypes of being a
black mother and wife; then we’ll downward dog with two women struggling for balance, solitude and one sincere “namaste” in a Westside yoga class; we’ll crusade on with an ‘all things are possible’ super heroine-in-training facing three doors and her choices between identity, liberty and destiny; and we also hit up a hip hop spot where a former Black Panther drinks away his politics and his "daughter become son" wrecks the mic and all pre-conceived notions of femininity and biology.
