This boundary-breaking Tony-nominated play breathes new life into our Constitution and imagines how it will shape the next generation of Americans. Fifteen-year-old Heidi earned her college tuition by winning Constitutional debate competitions across the United States. In this hilarious, hopeful and achingly human new play, she resurrects her teenage self in order to trace the profound relationship between four generations of women and the founding document that shaped their lives.

Content Warning: What the Constitution Means to Me contains mature themes and language, mentions of domestic violence, sexual assault, and discussions of abortion and its stigmatization.

As part of the GODDESSES 3.0 exhibition, on view February 25 – April 10, the Ramapo College Art Galleries are pleased to present a screening of Carolee Schneemann’s Ask the Goddess (1991).

Ask the Goddess is a provocative performance in which Schneemann interacts with the audience by responding to sexual and psychic dilemmas read from cards they have submitted. A continuous relay of projected slides comprises an iconography of Goddess symbols, taboo and sacred, including images of animal attributes. Schneemann reacts spontaneously to the questions; she channels cogent answers triggered by the unpredictable images and finds herself physically activated, turning into a howling wolf or crawling across the projection area, squealing like a pig. (Description via Electronic Arts Intermix).

Following the screening, there will be a panel discussion featuring Rachel Churner, director of the Carolee Schneemann Foundation, and Donna Kessinger, co-curator of GODDESSES 3.0 and feminist video artist.

Location TBA

The performance will take place in the late afternoon of April 10th, exact time to be announced soon!

ABOUT THE BAND:

The band Dick Pinchers is multi-media, multi-disciplinary artist Sierra Furtwangler (of Blood and Stomach Pills)‘s brainchild. It all started through a Facebook post. Sierra posted that she wanted to have a girl band named Dick Pinchers, she tagged Laura V Ward of Octavia Cup Dance Theatre and the Glam Rock Cabaret, and Alison Babalon of Beautiful Bastards and Oblivion Grin, suggesting that they might be a good fit. Miraculously, the trio formed. The raucous Dinner Party-esque band has become a sanity oasis for all three. Themes careen and intersect with swamp witchery, hot flashes, maniacal misbehavior, and Goddess invocation. Alison’s virtuosic bass work anchors Sierra’s heavy-hitting drums and Laura’s minimalist guitar (or violin). Vocals range from primal screams to somewhat more melodic singing, often within the same song. This IS your grandmother’s punk rock band.
