Vagina Monologues 2010
Welcome to another week of What Not to Talk About Over Dinner's blog from KUCI Irvine 88.9FM and kuci.org. If you missed any of the most recent podcasts, please check out http://talkradio889wnttod.podbean.com to get your latest fix.
This week, the topic is V-Day and the Vagina Monologues. You know you've heard of them, and you might have even seen them once or twice, but I've found that there are very few people who actually know that V-Day is more than just a stage where women talk about their "down there's." V-Day is a movement.
Created by Eve Ensler in 1998 in New York, the show began as a way to express the sexual experiences, both negative and positive, that women go through from youth to adulthood. The money raised from the first production and every single one since then goes to domestic abuse shelters, university sexual education, international safe houses (for women escaping genital mutilation and other forms of tradition that abuse women), and many other organizations that fight the violence against women.
Since 1998, the movement had traveled the world. Now in 95 countries and performed in over 120 languages, the V-Day movement is widespread, dynamic and pulsating with passionate voices.
The show is one that many women have contributed to or made their own in some way. Each woman, even if she uses the same script, brings something special to their own production and a fire that you see in their eyes and bodies. Just view the YouTube videos below for some great footage of different Vagina Monologues performances around the world. Also, for show information, check your local papers or type in V-Day with your city's name into Google. UC Irvine holds one every year near Valentine's Day weekend, and I highly recommend it if you live in the area!
If you'd like to audition for the Vagina Monologues at UC Irvine, check out http://www.vdayuci.com/ and audition next week November 17th or 18th. No need to be a student and no acting experience necessary.
