Unleashing The Power Of Imagination and Creativity In Support Of Reproductive Freedom, Rights, Health and Justice!
The Festival
The Reproductive Freedom Festival, a theatrical recognition and celebration of the fundamental human right to bodily autonomy, was developed by Words of Choice to support reproductive freedom, rights, health and justice and to generate new conversations on these subjects. We are pro-women’s rights, pro-human rights, pro-reproductive rights, pro-reproductive justice and pro-choice.
Short theatrical works, poetry and spoken word selections were presented in a Live Theatrical Reading, at The TACT Studio in NYC and also streamed live to the world, via a multi-camera interactive livestream.
Due to popular demand, now they are available in book format. Short Plays on Reproductive Freedom — for people to read, place in their libraries, display in their waiting rooms, and to consider doing their own Reproductive Freedom Festival! Buy the paperback at Amazon and the ebook at Amazon Kindle! and other sites.
“The breadth of the work is astonishing.” “A very powerful way of communicating the emotional impact of reproductive rights.” “The support and love in these writings could move mountains and break down walls”
The Reproductive Freedom Festival operated with the support of The Puffin Foundation, the Abortion Conversations Projects, the Anne Hale and Arthur Johnson Community Trust, and many individual donors.
The Live-Stream

This is not your back-of-the-house wobbly camera, but a professional multi-camera set-up of the theatrical works. People felt like they were in the room with the performers in New York! Tens of thousands of people in every state and nine countries watched!
Included in the event were short interviews with experts and artists, along with selected visual arts. Online participants were able to join in by Twitter and instant messaging. This created a dynamic, interactive and enriching opportunity for one and all!
