Purchase tickets here https://nastywomenunitefest.com/2019-festival/

Created by president, Allison Brzezinski, Nasty Women Unite Fest is a non-profit multi-day festival amplifying voices that are  not often heard in the mainstream media, providing a necessary platform for talented Nasty Women artists of all mediums. In addition, the festival incorporates carefully curated panels and resource advocacy, fostering discussion on many issues related to intersectional feminism. All profits are donated to the ACLU, supporting the rights of all people.

Each show of this year’s NWUF will focus on a central theme inspired by a branch of the United States Government,  including the unofficial fourth branch – The People, as well as the myriad of issues that affect every citizen. An intimate talkback conversation with an esteemed guest with our President Allison Brzezinski, will kick off every show, followed by performances and screenings by our wonderfully talented artists – all with the aim to not only entertain, but provoke meaningful conversations.

C h o r e o J a m / with live music : Sun Nov. 13th, 7pm @Arts On Site

ChoreoJam is an ongoing event hosted by Bridge & Olive Dance that brings movers and shakers and music makers together. It is a forum for emerging and mid career artists to workshop material as well as explore and express creatively through improvisation and musical collaboration–WITH LIVE MUSIC!!! The evening consists of two sections that bring us from sitting, seeing, and speaking, to moving, grooving, and exploring. During the first section, participants are invited to show “in process” choreography to the group. Following each work, we will dive into feedback and discussion–a process facilitated by the choreogrpaher so that they get the informaiton they need. The second section is centered around improvisation and collaborative expression that incorporates live music, dance, and other art forms. This improv jam is designed to create a body dialogue between a new network of artists. It is a way for you to feel free and explore. A way to translate what you experienced in the first section into dynamic action and expression.
