The Shapes We Make With Our Bodies

Honey, our protagonist, is on the run from both her past and her present; avoiding questions about love, bodies, language, and the extents of all three. But her friendsthe impish Maenadsrefuse to just let her escape. The Shapes We Make With Our Bodies is a feminist, queer, maximalist piecespanning caves, hills, courtrooms, and kitchensabout a woman torn by her desires, unwilling to bend to the needs of men, yet hesitant in the face of her wildness.

When I first read The Shapes We Make With Our Bodies, I was first of all stunned and terrified by Megs gorgeous language and then enthralled by the story of this woman as she is pushed and pulled by all the people in her life. This story of female struggle and resistance is so necessary right now. Unabashedly feminist, The Shapes We Make With Our Bodies highlights struggles faced by women every day, both profound and mundane.

We're very excited to bring Megs relevant, whimsical, insightful, tragic, and magical writing to life. This is a chance to create art, which is undeniably important in this current day and age, art of, by and for women; art which highlights new and emerging artists; art which questions the possibilities of gender, theatre, love, death, and reality. And it is a chance to bring Honeys story to life, help us fulfill our responsibility artists to amplify, to resist, to spotlight, and to create dialogue and beauty.
