In the summer of 2010, a collective of Pinay womyn from New York and New Jersey met in solidarity and sisterhood to examine the experiences, perceptions, struggles and triumphs of the Pinay body and spirit. From their exploration this piece has been developed as a means of reflection, confrontation and healing.

On June 19, 2011, Ugnayan and the Journey of a Brown Girl collective also invite the audience to take part in a community dialogue and workshop that touches on the issues that the curriculum and the performance piece seek to address.

Directed and produced by Jana Lynn Umipig. Performances by Czareena Dotchev, Krismin Inocentes and Vanessa Ramahlo. Workshop co-facilitated by performers and members of Ugnayan.

Additionally We would like to request that the audience please bring with them a photo of a womyn who in their lives has played the role of a warrior, teacher, sage, and/or healer, to be included in an alter that is meant to include their spirits in this journey.
*Photos will be returned upon exiting the space.
