Deadline: 31 August 2012
"Yoni Ki Baat," a South Asian Sisters production inspired by “The Vagina Monologues,” is back for its NINTH fabulous show in the Bay Area, and this year we are mixing it up a little.
We still want monologues, poems, songs, musings, and tidbits from South Asian women that explore the topic of womanhood, but this time around we just want to laugh.
Because - news flash - sometimes sex is pretty funny. Sometimes that insanely embarrassing moment from middle school is hilarious in hindsight. And sometimes your friends ask you to repeat that awkward conversation with your mom or daughter about birth control because it
cracks them up.
In other words: We are seeking HUMOROUS pieces only! We want this year's YKB to focus on the funny side of our experiences, no matter how uncomfortable or angry they may have made us at the time. As we know, the redemptive qualities of humor can heal and bring about poetic justice.
SOME POSSIBLE TOPICS:
* Embarrassing moments
* Incidents in the motherland
* Unsolicited relationship advice
* Conversations with parents/kids/uncles/aunties
* Romantic set-ups gone awry
* Awkward sexual situations
* Caught in the act
* Hair removal fiascos
* Cross-cultural miscommunication
* Bad dates or online dating experiences
...etc.
Now's the time to thumb through your middle school journals, old diaries, emails, and re-live the magic.
Please send your submissions by August 31, 2012 to ykb@southasiansisters.org
