La MaMa E.T.C. Presents A Mind The Art Anthology: Volume II
By: Gabrielle Sierra Jan. 05, 2011
After April 2010's innovative Mind the Art Anthology which featured the three distinct works: What If?, Die & TE'A Under The Veil, Mind The Art returns to La Mama E.T.C. to explore two brand new works encompassing everything from a poetic comedic look at philosophy through performance art, to a reflective piece dealing with the loss of the self in an image oriented world. These works are created to entertain while challenging the status quo of your thinking and rebelling against your own sense of purpose and reality.
Featuring:
A Woman In Progress
Written and Performed by Keelie A. Sheridan
Directed by Alessio Cappelletti
La Mama E.T.C.
January 21st & 22nd @ 10pm
A Woman in Progress explores the themes of distorted beauty, the thin and often invisible line between self-improvement and self-mutilation and the role that the mother-daughter relationship plays in a girl's development of her sense of self-image. This one-woman piece, written and performed by Keelie A. Sheridan follows a woman named Helen through three stages of her "progress." A portion of the proceeds of A Woman In Progress will be donated to A Chance to Heal 501(c)(3).
