Dissident Bodies is a live and video performance event at Tattooed Mom, organized by Salomé Cosmique and Verónica Ponce de León, presenting the work of 17 artists from Latin America, France, India and the United States. Their varied responses to self-image and acceptance of ones body are at the center of this performance.

These talented male, female, and gender non-conforming artists will share their ability to accept their bodies, and how in doing so, they have fractured the societal conventions which regulate and restrict us through expectations of gender and beauty.

Dissident Bodies seeks to empower both the artist and the audience to accept their bodies as they are.

It is often difficult to accept ourselves as time passes and our bodies change. Forming wrinkles, gaining weight, growing white hair, transitioning (or choosing not to transition) for one’s gender identity, giving birth and accommodating new life. These changes are a part of life, but we are encouraged to hide them.

The Presented
​written & performed by Chris Davis
directed by Mary Tuomanen

The Presented explores what it means to be a chosen artist in the world today. In his signature comedic style, Davis examines the issues facing many theater artists today in a fun and hilarious 50-minute show that will make you never want to pursue a career in the arts ever again.

Reviews:
“Anyone who longs for a true Fringe experience — or who wants to spend some time with a naturally warm and engaging performer — should seek Davis out. A kind of Spalding Gray you’d want to grab a beer with at Dirty Franks, he occupies a space in the Philly theater ecosystem all his own.” ”
– Cameron Kelsall, Broad Street Review

“…an exuberant and irresistible Rumpelstiltskin who spins his own life’s straw into gold.”
– Kathryn Oselund, Phindie.com

Tickets available online and at the door.
Suggested $10 donation.

Andrea Duffy and Gina Gennari are the hosts of Crime and Cookies, the show where they talk about crime and eat cookies!

Crime and Cookies is the newest spin on true crime. Every month, Andrea, Gina and a special guest will focus on one or more real-life cases of victims who have survived a violent crime. They’ll dive into the details and explore what it is that enables survivors to persevere in the face of terror. Is it quick reflexes, wit, sheer luck, or something else? The panel will dissect and weigh in on all the details. They’ll also discuss how we all can better protect ourselves in every day life. The show will include quizzes about things like crime stories and survival techniques to make the audience feel a little more prepared for the crazy world outside—and there’ll be cookies! After all, who doesn’t want to eat comfort food after a good true crime story?! At the end of the show, they’ll reveal the results of a psychopathy test that the guest panelist will have taken prior to the show—the results will be killer!
