From Ashes to Angel's Dust: African American Women Educating, Inspiring and Entertaining!!

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Free-Press-Release.com) January 26, 2012 -- What:
Based on Zoë Flowers' Dirty Laundry, a series of candid interviews with women of color who had experienced domestic and sexual violence, From Ashes to Angel's Dust: A Journey Through Womanhood (FA2AD) is a ChoreoDrama that uses monologues; poetry and vignettes to address these issues and provide a forum for education, inspiration and entertainment!

The Ashes Manifesto:

From Ashes to Angel's Dust: A Journey Through Womanhood is for our ancestors that died so that we might live- that starved so we might prosper. It is for those silenced by violence, oppression, homophobia, shame or the impulse to please. This play is for little girls that grow into women looking for fathers in the arms of strange men. It's for all those who ask "why does she stay." This show is for women who recognize that protection, unconditional love and unconditional freedom can occupy the same space. For all who understand that loving another and one's self is a revolutionary act- the most revolutionary act. In short, From Ashes to Angel's Dust is for complicated, simple, uncompromising, weak, independent, gold-digging, hardworking, hard loving, bitchy, vulnerable, strong, happy, and angry women and all those that choose to love us.

The production of FA2AD will be performed as part of Bergen Community College's Empowering Women: Love Shouldn't Hurt conference!!

Where: Ciccone Theatre on the campus of Bergen Community College
400 Paramus Road
