davis_squareI want to meet like-minded women and see some great visual art, plays, etc. Anybody know of any upcoming artsy events/performances/groups/etc. that feature women's art/performances? I like all genres of visual and performing arts. I know awesome women don't only go to women-only stuff, but it's a start.
And, for the record, by women's art, I don't mean quilting bees (unless there's lots of booze) or va-jay-jay portrait parties, just interesting art made by women.

Date: 2008-10-30 09:18 pm (UTC)if your goal is to find out about art in a certain vein, it may be more helpful to list some examples of what you like rather than saying "artsy" or dismissing other types of visual art.

Date: 2008-10-30 10:03 pm (UTC)For those curious, this is how Mama Gena defines a Sister Goddess. Apparently you have to flirt with dogs.
She is a bit naughty
She is often outrageous
She is her own unique brand of Sassy and Sexy
She uses the power of her own pleasure as a way of life
She loves herself as she is now
She finds pleasure in all that she does
She knows that enjoying herself in the presence of others is a great gift
She tends to flirt with everyone—men, women, babies, dogs, and cats included!
She is a sensual being, a sexual being
She takes reverent care of herself
She has extraordinary relationships with the men and women in her life
She has a scorching sex life
She treats herself like the Goddess she is
She chooses to adore her body, whatever her size, age or circumstance
She has work that is designed and driven by her juiciest desires
She works less, gets more and has fun doing both!
She uses her community of women to support her dreams
She has taken her rightful place as the owner and operator of her life
She is you...

Date: 2008-10-30 11:19 pm (UTC)Somehow, I don't think a group of men, sitting in a room, staring at penises with rapt absorption will have many takers. Some, certainly, but some of those will probably be terribly disappointed.

Date: 2008-10-31 01:02 am (UTC)One is called BU Spin Jam which is a bunch of people hooping, doing rope dart, spinning poi, yoga, contortion, and staff. There are quite a few women there. If you saw the front page of The Boston Phoenix a couple of weeks ago... it's the same people. They meet Monday from 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. The group can vary from 5 people to (at one point) 60.
There's another skill share group called "The Grass Hoppers" who meet on Wednesday nights from 8:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. They focus on pretty much the same stuff as mentioned above, but I think it's a little more focused on choreographing moves together, and is a bit smaller as it just started up.
Both meet at the Sergeant Activities Center near the BU Central Stop on the green line.
