SPEAK- Performances From Women in the Yampa Valley

SPEAK is an hour long performance written and performed by women living in the Yampa Valley. The performance will feature a variety of styles from spoken word, to slam poetry, to stand-up comedy, to dance. Inspired by the likes of 2 Dope Queens and Eve Ensler, SPEAK is a telling of the female experience in all its humor and tragedy in the modern, mountain world. 

- SPEAK Created by Emily Waldron for YBC in 2016

 SPEAK 2020 PROMPT

For SPEAK 2020, we focus not only on the force behind those bridges, but also the force that shapes our entire social landscape, our decisions, our behaviors, and sometimes our feelings of worth in the world. 100 years ago, women had no autonomy before the law. We could not vote, we could not work, we could not get an education, own property, or get elected. Much has changed since then, but how much? Still, today, though laws have changed, a more elusive force seems to challenge those of who seek to shape our society. It can make us strong or silenced; celebrated, or ignored; weak or resilient. Next years theme is POWER and LEADERSHIP. -SARAH VALENTINO
