Big Moves and Greater Boston NOW present
Love Your Body (a reception and showcase)
October 7th, 2008 * 7 p.m.
Cambridge Public Library, Central Square branch (Lewis Room), 45 Pearl St., Cambridge
Free reception and performance showcase in honor of Love Your Body Month, co-hosted by Big Moves Boston and Greater Boston NOW. The free reception features Big Moves performers, as well as speakers from both organizations and guest artists from around the Boston area. Look also for refreshments and free Love Your Body posters from NOW.
Big Moves dancers will be running excerpts from their upcoming musical, Hot Buffet, a dystopian musical satire. Additional guests include Johnny Blazes from the Femme Show, modern dancer Marsha Jael, and folk guitarist Liz Oehlschlaeger.
The reception officially kicks off LOVE YOUR BODY, a radical display of body positivity running October 1 through 31 at the library. LOVE YOUR BODY is a mixed-media exhibit of art, propaganda, and the naked truth about how loving your body, whatever your size, shape, color, or ability, can change the
world you live in. Inspired by NOW's Love Your Body Day (October 15), LOVE YOUR BODY is curated/produced by Big Moves, with additional materials from the NOW Foundation.
