Richmond, Virginia arts festival to showcase play about birth
Richmond, Virginia is hosting an arts festival centered on childbirth. The festival, “Defining Moments: An Exploration of Birth through the Arts,” will include dance performances, film screenings, panel discussions, workshops and art exhibits.
One of the central parts of the festival will be the performance of a play by Karen Brody entitled Birth. Brody wrote the play after becoming convinced women give up a lot of power when making decisions about childbirth. The play focuses on the birth experiences of seven educated, middle-class women.
