| Description |
bodyBODY is back!
You Can't Tell by Looking is the latest installment of the bodyBODY Project's exploration of the women's
body-image issue. The multimedia event includes:
- You Can't Tell By Looking, an original dark comedy by Vanessa McGrady that explores family dynamics and how they play into women's perceptions of themselves and their bodies. It's about a family as dysfunctional as yours!
- What a Body!, a video documentary by Kathlyn Albright in which women share their stories about how they navigate messages about their bodies from their families and our culture.
- This Is Beautiful, a collection of photographs by Amanda Koster that shows there is beauty in every body.
bodyBODY: You Can't Tell By Looking uses these different art forms to show audience members that they are not alone in their experiences navigating cultural, media and familial messages about their bodies. Just because someone is thin, it doesn't mean she is happy. If someone else is heavy, it doesn't mean she can't enjoy her body. Perhaps if enough people are aware of how narrow society's definition of beauty is, the scope will open wider to encompass all of us.
We'll be at Seattle's Empty Space Theater January 8-February 12, 2005
ASL-interpreted program on Saturday, January 29
