This Boat Called My Body: A Behind the Scenes Panel

6:00 pm — 8:00 pm

Centering stories of young people in Illinois who have terminated pregnancies, This Boat Called My Body seats audiences in a metaphor for the islands that youth must navigate to access abortion. Through spectacle, dance, opera, and interaction with water, This Boat Called My Body asks us to better understand what reproductive access looks like for all. The play is being performed May 31st through June 17th in partnership with the Chicago Park District. Join us May 4 at Build Coffee for a special preview discussion of the process behind creating The Boat and ICAH’s work with young people who have ended pregnancies and Illinois’ Parental Notification for Abortion Law. The play’s co-directors, Quenna Lené Barrett and Nik Zaleski, will join ICAH Executive Director Tiffany Pryor in a panel and Q&A moderated by Jenn Stanley, senior producer at Rewire.News.
