Sound minds and bodies: a week in photos.

Producers Heidi Von Haught, Wiggy Stardust, and Randi Rascal nailed some (political) action last weekend with some of their closest friends and NARAL Pro-Choice, the leading grassroots pro-choice advocacy organization in Washington state. In the spirit and immediacy of the cause, the performers brought their most dazzling acts and controversial satire to rePRODUCTION! A Burlesque Benefit.
The variety show brought burlesque, belly dance, aerial, puppeteering, and some rather hyper-sensitive paper-mache to the Theatre Off Jackson. Madeline Rider got a little personal with the producers before the show HERE, and photographer Paul O’Connell generously shared some images originally posted in his set HERE which capture a cross-section of the unblushing performances:
