DESCRIPTION:Please join us for ALCHEMY's first Santa Cruz performance and our \nfirst 
 showing of "THE BEAUTIFUL UGLY"—a collection of original works \nby womyn 
 of color residing in the Bay Area. Inspired by leaders such \nas Adrienne 
 Riche, Audre Lourde, bell hooks, and others, The Beautiful \nUgly aims to 
 challenge traditional structures of theatre, redefining \ntheatre through 
 the use of poetry, spoken word, and movement within a \ncollective. It 
 explores ideas from body image and sexuality to race \nand language, taking 
 the audience on an intimate journey toward \nself-realization and social 
 responsibility. ALCHEMY: THE BEAUTIFUL \nUGLY is Yvonne Alvarez, Emily 
 Encina, Karla Flores, Wendy Fong, Aries \nHines-Coleman, Rahsheka Keith, 
 Vanessa Lewis, Elisa Noemi. \n\nThe "CREATING ALCHEMY WORKSHOP" will 
 provide an opportunity for you to \nexplore yourself— yourself being a 
 political body (your body being a \nphysical entity that is emotional, 
 intellectual, and spiritual) and \nhow we relate to the world around us. We 
 will be responding to \ncurrent events through use of collaborative and 
 individual writing and \nperformance. We hope to challenge ideas and each 
 other and take risks \nto create theatre together. Be prepared to write and 
 move. The \nworkshop is free and everyone is welcome to attend. \n\nThe 
 vision of ALCHEMY is to create a space and performance that allows \nwomyn 
 of all colors, sexualities, abilities, cultures, and backgrounds \nto unite 
 and collaborate, empowering one another to express ourselves \nthrough 
 theatre, film, digital media, poetry, spoken word, art, music, \netc, and 
 comment on where we stand in relation to current social and \npolitical 
 events in the Bay Area and the world. This project is \ninspired by 
 Adrienne Rich's book, On Lies, Secrets, and Silence. She \ntalks about how 
 remaining silent is a form of lying to oneself and to \nothers because she 
 is denying herself and others of that "unspoken \ntruth." She also goes on 
 about how the most interesting things in \nlife are "the possibilities that 
 exist between two people, or a mount \na group of people," describing it as 
 a "kind of alchemy." It is our \ngoal and hopes to unite as womyn to voice 
 ourselves and incite change \namongst our communities. \n\nFor more 
 information on future auditions and events, please email us \nalchemywomyn
