A performance by WiseAcres West
Conceived by Dr. Catherine Scott Burriss
Developed and Performed with Katherine Murphy
Preventative Measures is a moving, incisive, funny and jarring exploration of the empowerment, fears, myths, and mixed messages surrounding self-defense training and sexual assault prevention. One of the main questions of this piece is how can women, or anyone, reconcile a desire for mobility, independence, and empowerment with a desire for safety and security- especially when each of these desires is elusive and contingent at best?
Followed by a community panel discussion of self-defense practices and sexual violence with a reception hosted by the CSUCI Performing Arts Program.
