Still, Birth. is a play about pregnancy loss.A taboo subject for centuries, this play seeks to open the lines of communication between those who have been touched by pregnancy loss in any way.We want to tell our stories and we want to open the space for others to do the same. Stillbirth, miscarriage, and late term abortion account for 5.82 deaths per 1,000 live births in the U.S. The loss often leaves a trail of disappointment, guilt, shame, and grief that are commonly experienced in silence.Still, Birth. uses dance, monologues, scenes, and poetry to tell the truth of losing a pregnancy. By telling our stories, we hope to bring healing and understanding to those affected.Written by Parrish and CampanyDirected by Robyne ParrishSM Kyra BowieDocumentarian Amanda LacsonAD and Asst Choreo Kim Rios LinWith Tara Troy, Coley Campany, Juan Perez, Bree O'Connor, Laura Sisskin Fernandez, Yessinia Rivas, Nupur Charyalu and Czary MadaOver the course of three award cycles, more than 3,000 artists will receive $5,000 grants to engage the public with artist activities across New York Citys five boroughs this summer and fall.
