Weaving Interdisciplinary Voices

We have the power of our integrity
We have the power of our good deeds
We have power that no one can take away
     For the power we both share – I salute you.
WSV Scene 11 – Power
Deborah (Judges 4-5)

Theatre is inherently interdisciplinary. When I produce a piece of theatre I, as director and choreographer, collaborate with the design team that folds the visual arts elements through scenic and costume design into the overall vision (as covered in Reiterations and Design).

Weaving Our Sisters' Voices has interdisciplinary impacts with not only Theatre, Dance, Music and Visual Arts/Design, but also with Religious Studies, Women’s and Gender Studies, and History.

Even though these are stories from long ago, it is clear that the sharing of them gives power to those performing and those witnessing. The integrity of these stories empowers those that experience it and together the power is shared. If women from these ancient stories, whose challenges were greater than ours, persevered, then we can too. If women today are still facing issues that these women from ancient stories faced, we must persevere. These themes are prevalent in the field of Women and Gender Studies.
