A performance by WiseAcres West
Conceived by Dr. Catherine Scott Burriss
Developed and Performed with Katherine Murphy

Preventative Measures is a moving, incisive, funny and jarring exploration of the empowerment, fears, myths, and mixed messages surrounding self-defense training and sexual assault prevention. One of the main questions of this piece is how can women, or anyone, reconcile a desire for mobility, independence, and empowerment with a desire for safety and security- especially when each of these desires is elusive and contingent at best?

 


Followed by a community panel discussion of self-defense practices and sexual violence with a reception hosted by the CSUCI Performing Arts Program.

Presented as part of Sexual Assault Awareness Week. For more information about SAAW, contact Kirsten Moss (Interim Coordinator of the CSUCI Multicultural and Women's & Gender Student Center): kirsten.moss@csuci.edu
