In The Room With Adrianne Moore

H

ow did feminism get to be such a dirty word? I like it and have used it for thirty years as a useful, if fairly broad, term for the beliefs I hold about the rights of women. Avery, the 21 year old student in Rapture Blister Burn, espouses a range of views about gender roles and women’s rights that would seem to be perfectly in keeping with claiming this identity but early on in the play she insists that she is definitely not “a feminist”. As a university professor I have had many classroom conversations where young women started by saying “I am not a feminist but …..” and then went on to express ideas that to my mind very much encapsulated feminism.

One of the joys of working on a play is the total immersion in the characters, relationships and themes of the play. It gives you a reason, in this case the play demands, that you are as well versed as the characters in their topics of discussion. All of which had me reading Phyllis Schlafly’s, The Power of the Positive Woman, Betty Friedan’s seminal book The Feminine Mystique, and, just to round things out, the contemporary philosopher Dr. Phil’s book Love Smart. Although she doesn’t use the term feminism, Schlafly responds to the Women’s Movement as militants and radicals, “opposing mother nature” and supporting legislation (the ERA) that will lead to the disintegration of marriage. The media mogul Pat Roberson was a little more extreme when he stated that “The feminist agenda is not about equal rights for women. It is about a socialist, anti-family political movement that encourages women to leave their husbands, kill their children, practice witchcraft, destroy capitalism, and become lesbians.” And Rush Limbaugh – “Feminism is about victimization. Don’t forget Undeniable Truth of Life Number 24. Feminism was established to allow unattractive women easier access to the mainstream.”

And of course there was his coining of the term “feminazi” for feminist. And certainly the principles and statements of the more militant branch of the women’s movement have also contributed to the current extreme associations of the term. One of my students just posted a link on Facebook to an article titled 20 Things You Should Know About Dating an Independent Girl. It actually read to me like 20 Things You Should Know about Dating a Feminist but I guess “independent “is still a little more acceptable to the twenty something’s for whom the article was written. But I am hopeful for the future of the both the word and the movement. A couple of weeks ago in her capacity as Goodwill Ambassador for UN Women, the actor Emma Watson, gave an important, and I thought really moving speech about global gender inequality and the need to combat it. Importantly a part of the initiative was to get men and boys involved in the fight for gender equality. “The more I spoke about feminism, the more I realized that fighting for women’s rights has too often become synonymous with man-hating. If there is one thing I know for certain, it is that this has to stop….For the record, feminism by definition is the belief that men and women should have equal rights and opportunities. It is the theory of political, economic and social equality of the sexes.” I saw the speech on YouTube which for sure means that all of my students, both male and female saw it. My daughter watched it so probably half of her high school saw it too. So perhaps more young women will feel comfortable adopting this identification, if it does indeed gel with their political beliefs, now that Hermione has spoken. It won’t solve all the issues surrounding gender roles and inequality but I would be delighted to see young people once again using the term feminism with pride.

The Green Room Gallery

WHO’S WHO

Our Green Room Gallery is a collective endeavor between community and artists. This space allows us to offer a variety of diverse visual perspectives from local artists. In keeping with SLAC’s mission to nurture our local, creative community, we celebrate these reinforcements born between the visual and performing arts. All sales go directly to the exhibiting artist.

Throughout the run of RAPTURE, BLISTER, BURN we are pleased to present artwork by Tricia Forsey Terry and Terence K. Stephens, both natives of SLC. Some of the work shown in this gallery examines a play between displays of conventions that hold feminine attributes, and the complexity that can be found under the Tricia Forsey Terry surface of such themes. In Terence K. Stephens dealing with themes of the feminine RAPTURE, BLISTER, BURN depicts four portraits of women whose differing life choices paint them into certain roles, and explores the complexity in the repercussion and solidity of those choices.

University Professional Theatre Program SLAC is delighted to partner with local universities to heighten theatre students’ educational experience by taking them out of the classroom and hiring them at a professional theatre. During RAPTURE, BLISTER, BURN we are thrilled to have an actor, an aspiring arts management professional, and an assistant director at SLAC. “I am thrilled to be working as the Assistant Director on RAPTURE, BLISTER, BURN. Through the UPTP I have been able to obtain professional experience while earning my theatre degree at Utah State University. My involvement in this production has been an invaluable learning experience. Due to a talented cast UPTP students Heidi Olsen, Stewart and director, this process has been informative and inspiring.

Fullerton and Amy Ware.

I am excited to apply what I have learned here at SLAC to my study of directing. A big thanks to SLAC and the sponsors of UPTP for making this opportunity possible.”

–Heidi Olsen, Utah State University | Assistant Director “The University Theatre Program has been incredibly influential in my growth as an artist. Without having this professional opportunity at SLAC my education would be incomplete. Learning from my fellow actors and our incredible director has given me an experience that cannot be taught in the classroom.”

-Stewart Fullerton, University of Utah | Actor “Being able to intern with SLAC is an amazing opportunity for me, as an arts administration student, to learn more about the behind the scenes work at an acting company.”

-Amy Ware, Westminster College |

Arts Management

We thank The John & Marcia Price Family Foundation, Terence K. Stephens, Marian Jacobsen for making dreams come true.
