...Destination...Excavation...: 6th Annual Women's Performance Art
Festival
December 2-4, 2005
Friday, Saturday and Sunday, 8pm
Admission: $15
Each year, the Women's Performance Art Festival features a full
schedule of Chicago artisans performing original works via improv,
standup comedy, dance, performance art and much more. The Festival
is filled with moving, innovative work that focuses on women, with
the themes of "...Destination...Excavation..." In search
of the ultimate destination, we excavate our lives to reveal our
true selves - start digging. Since 1999, Stockyards has avidly promoted
talented woman playwrights and directors, and has showcased the
remarkable and richly imaginative visions of contemporary women.

emotional expressivity, and a solo for Germond in collaboration
with video artist JT Newman that explores Pop Iconography and gender
specific movement. Marilyn Monroe and Elvis Presley are examined
in both direct impersonation and abstraction.
