BodyVOX: an original dance-theater-activist production

Written and performed by:
Amee, Courtney, Erica, Nicosie, Mia, Mia, Quien, Stephanie & Tanzina, with Emma, Nadia and Aja & the SPARKteam

Directed by:

Aimee Cox and Dana Edell


BodyVOX! is an original dance-theater-activist performance written and performed collaboratively by young women. BodyVOX! explores the curvy lines between “sexy” and “sexualized,” and demands that we not just critique the media messages force-fed to girls but that we take action and ignite change.


Created in an express 4-week process, our inter-generational team of artists, dancers, writers, activists and performers use performance to share our creative strategies to end the sexualization of girls, a root cause of violence against women and girls.

The girls have been hard at work creating their show. Take a look at the rehearsal pics below:

Join us, Sunday, May 12th and Monday, May 13th at 7:00 PM at the Veronica Lally Kehoe Studio Theatre – 113 West 60th Street (at Columbus Ave.) in Manhattan .

Tickets: Free (Suggested donation $10)

    A Random viBrant Photo

    What viBe means to me is an unexplainable feeling. It´s like an open door to the world of freedom. It was the only place where I could let out my deepest, darkest secrets and all my emotions out without being afraid. — Tinaya, 16
