What stories do our bodies tell? Global Works and SOAP present Boobs (Real Talk), a premiere production featuring three actresses performing raw, unfiltered stories submitted by women. The play journeys through the spectrum of the female experience: the budding awareness of adolescence, the physical demands of sports, the life-altering shifts of motherhood, and the challenges of surgery and menopause. It is an evening designed to make you laugh and cry while fostering a community-wide dialogue. Whether cis, trans, male, or female, all are welcome to share in this essential talk.

Dive into the subtle and articulate movement vocabulary of Meredith Pellon’s SLOWBURN. The workshop will progress through a warm up that introduces some of the movement subtleties of the company and then dancers will learn an excerpt from the SLOWBURN repertoire.
