Unconscious and Irrational

Sunday, May 2, 2010

Excerpt from Mary Wigman's Hexentanz (Witch Dance), originally choreographed in 1914, filmed in 1930.

Unconscious and Irrational: Unconscious and Irrational is named for the media's common presentation of girls and women as being either "out of control" or simply "passed out". In movies there aren't many female roles that won't show the girl either passing out, being knocked unconscious, or going totally crazy (usually with a car, credit car, or depressed dude). On this blog I want to show the zillions of other things we do - whether it be music, art, comedy, or politics. I aim to provide you with a variety of gals to look up to- from Romy and Michele to Shirley Chisholm and Bella Abzug.
