How We Survive: A Feminist Poetry Show

How We Survive: A Feminist Poetry Show
Lift Women’s Voices. Burn The Patriarchy Down.

How We Survive is a feminist spoken word performance featuring internationally acclaimed poets Olivia Hall and Carrie Rudzinski. This two woman show presents a powerful and honest narrative on what is to be a woman living and surviving in 2017.

Returning to Auckland for a special one night event on Saturday May 13th, How We Survive powerfully addresses social issues ranging from rape culture to body image to Hermione as a feminist role model. After four sold-out performances in 2016, How We Survive returns with new poems, carrying a switchblade and a hallelujah in the same breath. Hailing from New Zealand and America respectively, Hall and Rudzinski blend their voices into a powerful one and a half hour performance promising to heal, nurture, and spark discussion. Come experience just how we survive: together.

Praise:

How We Survive is an unforgettable show and experience. Carrie and Olivia's mastery of words, language and truths had me laughing, crying, learning and feeling waves of empowerment all at once.” - Kyla Dela Cruz, 2016 Rising Voices Slam Champion

“No matter who you are, you will find yourself somewhere within these poems. I guarantee you that. All matters of emotions are accessible in this show and done in a way that invites you to listen and add to the conversation. There is no time to be polite or reserved anymore and How We Survive is testament of that.” - Grace Taylor, 2016 Auckland Mayoral Writers Grant Recipient
