SUMMARY:After Hours Evening Tour: Death\, Disease\, and Disinformation
DESCRIPTION:Superstition\, ignorance\, and deception in the plagues of the past and present\n“False Knowledge is more dangerous than ignorance.” – G.B. Shaw \nThis tour will touch upon the Black Death\, Smallpox\, Yellow Fever\, and the Spanish Flu. We’ll describe how civilizations responded to these pandemics. The tour will attempt to make correlations between those societies’ reactions to the plagues of the past and our current predicament. \nWe’ll also discuss how these diseases were spread and the treatments that were used in those times. The tour highlights the misconceptions and prejudices that existed.

SUMMARY:On Buried Ground featuring Emily Bate (Rescheduled from Sep 8 to Sep 9)
DESCRIPTION:Free outdoor performance — registration required\nIn the wake of continued loss artists Emily Bate and Shayla-Vie Jenkins each present new meditations in the Christ Church Burial Ground. Each work\, sited in one of the oldest resting places in Philadelphia\, considers grief and communal gatherings of public healing. Bate and Jenkins each acknowledge the burial ground as a tender and troubled place that holds layers of the city’s history — casting it as a space that is ultimately as much about futures created together as it is the past. \nThis program is curated and organized by Katy Dammers and produced by Christ Church Neighborhood House. \nEmily Bate is a harmony fanatic\, obsessed with cooking up voice sounds with people in the seething soup of humanity. This manifests in a wide variety of disciplines (music performance\, theater\, film\, social practice) and roles (composer\, vocalist\, arranger\, conductor\, facilitator\, performer). Emily founded and conducts a 65-member queer community chorus called Trust Your Moves\, an experiment in collective singing designed around liberation and co-creation. \n			\n				Reserve Free Tickets

SUMMARY:The Choice
DESCRIPTION:Pack a lunch for your kids while 10 months pregnant!Laugh with a middle-aged Australian mum!Panic about the future of the human race amidst climate catastrophe!Tell a woman what to do with her body! \nJoin us as we decide whether or not to have children! Better yet\, decide for us! \nWelcome to the womb where it happens: The Choice\, an interactive theatre show by inFLUX\, unpacks the decision to have children\, exposing the most intimate parts of a woman’s choice. \nJacinta\, age 35\, must confront this life-altering choice before it’s too late for her: how will she decide? On the one hand there is the joy of raising a baby and watching them grow\, on the other is the undeniable contribution to overpopulation that is dooming the earth. Christine\, 29\, deeply wants children\, but faces the fear of becoming “just a mom” and losing a career she’s only just beginning. Jacqueline\, 25\, wishes she was being asked any question but this one. They invite the audience to join them as they dive into it all: financial realities\, personal relationships\, societal and family pressure\, a changing climate\, and the morality of bringing new life into today’s world. \nThey lay it all bare for an audience\, ultimately asking the existential question – should we be having children? \nThe Choice is the first chapter of The Motherhood Project\, a decade-long series of performances by the members of inFLUX – Jacqueline Libby\, Christine Octavia Shaw\, and Jacinta Yelland. Facing down the decade where their reproductive choices become more important\, more scrutinized\, and more impactful\, they came together to create The Motherhood Project to examine their evolving relationship to motherhood in five new works of theatre over the next ten years. \n			\n				Reserve Tickets
