Description
"I'm All Yours..." is an original one woman, one-act show in the making, viewing the past legal confines of women worldwide and how that objectification translates to the treatment of women today. This presentation outlines the inspiration for writing the show, how the show is structured, plans for the future, and a brief overview of the research involved. The original song "Ambivalence," a work written during the process of falling out of love, and a monologue written from the perspective of the prim and proper "Samantha" are performed. Drawing from texts such as Marilyn Yalom's "A History of the Wife" and Gilbert King's "Woman, Child for Sale" this show provides context for how the legal history of women's rights still have a grip on the modern objectification of female presenting people.
