RAISE THE VIBRATION: V-DAY 2025 SUBMISSION CALL-OUT
The Bread & Roses Theatre are looking for monologues or spoken word pieces by women (cis & trans), nb or gender fluid performers or writers to help us Raise the Vibration.
Throughout V-DAY’s history, activists and artists have used this platform to shed light on the connection between gender based violence and political instability, armed conflict, xenophobia, unsafe working conditions, transphobia, homophobia, and racism.
Raise the Vibration has replaced our annual Vagina Monologues event in-line with vday.org so we can foreground new voices in the conversation around ending violence against women (cisgender and transgender), those who hold fluid identities, nonbinary people, girls and the planet.
Submissions can form any part of your experience around sexual, physical, racial, economic, political, socio-cultural, ideological and climate crisis violence.
How to submit:
Writers: submit in writing or audio to be cast by Bread & Roses team
Writer/performers: submit via video submission (you performing your piece)
Work must be no longer than 10 minutes and is limited to one submission per person. If selected, this will be performed as part of V-DAY 2025 (February 14th or 15th 2025) - an annual charity event with all proceeds going to refuge.org.uk
