Artivism Dance Theatre presents Birds, Bees, and IUDs in partnership with NOMA and Planned Parenthood. Birds, Bees, and IUDs utilizes the art of dance and theatre to speak directly about reproductive rights, health care, and sexual education from a personal and intersectional perspective. With honesty, vulnerability, and a splash of humor, this production challenges the standard of silence around bodies. Artivism Dance Theatre weaves in humor and satire while also embracing the heavy-hitting realities of living in a body that is both objectified and shrouded in mystery. In holding space for sorrow and celebration, Birds, Bees, and IUDs takes a raw and open look at real-life experiences to facilitate a collective conversation around the universal right to health, education, and dignity.

About Artivism Dance Theatre

Artivism Dance Theatre is a collective dedicated to bringing awareness of social issues to a wide range of audiences through dance theatre. Artivism prioritizes communication of social message over esoteric performance, often using multimedia techniques in their work. They believe that art, and specifically movement, can communicate perspective and experience across gaps in culture, language, and tradition that might otherwise remain unreachable.
