?The Roots and Wings Project
The Roots and Wings Project Founder/Creative Director Jesse Bliss and the California Arts Council Cultural Pathways Grant Present WOMEN AT WORK?, a transformative works-in-progress experience that brings forth new stories from powerhouse writers. WOMEN AT WORK is an innovative evening of truth-finding the way to light through tales being birthed and realized by women with an ear to the ground and a finger on the pulse of the universe.
WOMEN AT WORK is the third in a trilogy of shows, supported by the California Arts Council Cultural Pathways grant, shining light on matters of women’s oppression and the urgent need for justice. Each artist is in a different stage of development, thus calling on a variety of needs ranging from hearing the work to opening up audience feedback or questions. As we consistently overcome extreme obstacles in a misogynistic society, the evening is constructed to provide safe and creative space for writers to nurture and grow their work.
Originally set to take place in a multi-million dollar theatre, The Roots and Wings Project moved the show to the online platform of Facebook Live May 30, 2020 at 8 PM.
The Roots and Wings Project is a politically charged, socially transformative, project-based theatre company that brings attention to ?truth and provides stage and space for stories of the unnamed, unspoken and misunderstood.
