SUMMARY:This Is My Vulva
DESCRIPTION:This Is My Vulva is a powerful and provocative performance that brings the voices of twelve women into the spotlight through story\, movement\, and cultural reflection. Blending intimate narrative with contemporary dance\, the production invites audiences into a rarely spoken conversation—one that challenges shame\, dismantles silence\, and celebrates bodily autonomy. Each vignette explores a woman’s relationship with her vulva—at times celebratory\, at times complex\, raw\, humorous\, or deeply moving. These stories are embodied by dancer and singer Jodi Behan\, who interprets each narrative through expressive\, emotionally resonant movement\, giving physical form to what is often hidden or suppressed. Woven between the vignettes\, Fran Bouwman—artist\, educator\, comedian\, and founder of Viva la Flying Vulva—offers historical and contemporary context\, situating the personal stories within a broader cultural framework. Her reflections illuminate how social conditioning\, language\, medicine\, and media have shaped our relationships to our bodies—and how reclamation begins with curiosity and compassion. This Is My Vulva is not about shock value. It is about truth-telling. It is intimate without being insular\, educational without being didactic\, and radical in its simplicity: naming what has long been left unnamed. “This work creates space for honesty\,” says Bouwman. “When we bring these stories into the light\, we begin to loosen the grip of shame—and that has a ripple effect far beyond the stage.” The production welcomes people of all genders\, offering an entry point into conversations about body literacy\, self-worth\, and collective healing. Audiences can expect a performance that is thoughtful\, emotionally rich\, and quietly revolutionary.
