V-Day is a global movement to stop violence against women and girls. V-Day is a catalyst that promotes creative events to increase awareness, raise money and revitalize the spirit of existing anti-violence organizations. V-Day generates broader attention for the fight to stop violence against women and girls, including rape, battery, incest, female genital mutilation (FGM) and sexual slavery. Through V-Day campaigns, local volunteers and college students produce annual benefit performances of The Vagina Monologues, A Memory, A Monologue, A Rant and A Prayer, and screenings of V-Day's documentary Until The Violence Stops to raise awareness and funds for anti-violence groups within their own communities. V-Day is an organized response against violence toward women. V-Day is a vision: We see a world where women live safely and freely. V-Day is a demand: Rape, incest, battery, genital mutilation and sexual slavery must end now. V-Day is a spirit: We believe women should spend their lives creating and thriving rather than surviving or recovering from terrible atrocities. V-Day is a catalyst: By raising money and consciousness, it will unify and strengthen existing anti-violence efforts. Triggering far-reaching awareness, it will lay the groundwork for new educational, protective, and legislative endeavors throughout the world. V-Day is a process: We will work as long as it takes. We will not stop until the violence stops. V-Day is a day. We proclaim Valentine's Day as V-Day, to celebrate women and end the violence. V-Day is a fierce, wild, unstoppable movement and community. Join us! We will be holding auditions for a Perth production of the Vagina Monologues very soon, to be performed in April. Depending on the numbers recieved we will decide if this is to be a college or community event, but most probably it will be shown in the Curtin University lecture theatre over the course of 3 nights, a venue that seats 1000 and reached its capacity each night last year! We are seeking diverse, passionate volunteer actors who want to be a part of the movement and appreciate this oppurtunity! There are 16 monologues plus a few other segway scenes with multiple characters. You can look at the script online at www.geocities.com/dickinsonplayers/vagina.pdf The monologues range from topics of rape, vagina workshops, masturbation, periods, sex slavery, same sex relationships, genital mutilation, domestic violence, male dominance, etc etc etc. Be prepared to talk about all the "taboo" subjects, and use "vile" words like CUNT! Actresses should approach this text completely uninhibited. AUDITION TIMES WILL BE POSTED VERY SHORTLY. EMAIL juliastafford17@gmail.com if you're interested, and we will reply as soon as we have a set date!
