With the howl of an endless line of women in my bloodline, she pushes into the world. She has teeth, claws. She moves free of borders. Her being is vast, echoing forward in space and backward in time to the beginning seed of humanity. She is the mucky root, primordial mud, the voice singing over lost and stolen bones. Womb Creature is a sonic dance experience of stories screaming to be let out.

In an Ivory tower, a much older Rapunzel looks out of the tower through the window of her computer inside her "man-made" cell. The tower stands by itself but the actual window looks out on an air shaft. She rants on her search for love and community in the new world of super-connected disconnect; where most people prefer to text rather than speak. She rants and moves to her stories, society’s disregard of older women - her growing invisibility. She dances when the brain fog takes hold. "What’s that word...?" she says, as if dancing will help her remember and always kept in check by her on stage "on book" holding-the-script, stage manager. What keeps her in the tower? The locks have rusted open and the witch is mostly (just) in her head.
