This Emancipation Thing

Pull up a cushion, have a cookie, get comfortable. Speak if you like, or just listen: This Emancipation Thing is an invitation to connect, to resurrect the second-wave feminist consciousness-raising circle in a new participatory theater event led by Skidmore theater students. How do our identities, our desires, our relationships with our bodies vibrate between 1968 and 2026, across generations? Settle into a womb of listening and care as this gender expansive ensemble intervenes on the past and imagines more liberated futures. With trans health care, reproductive rights, and more slipping through our fingers, what wisdom must we awaken from our activist ancestors? What of that past must crumble — and how will we emerge from the rubble? Audience Info: Our box office will open for check-in 30 minutes before show time. The show runs approx. 80 minutes, no intermission. If you have an accessibility need, please contact our Box Office 24 hours in advance by emailing [email protected] so assistance can be arranged. Accessible parking spots and/or drop-off locations near the JKB Theater entrance are available in the "Theater / Art Deliveries Accessible Parking" lot, which is located just past the Zankel Music Center lot.
