We are a group of artistic women with diverse backgrounds and a common passion for the empowerment of women through the expression of sensual movement. We have come together to create a stage play, POLE PLAY: TAKING FLIGHT, that uses dialogue scenes, pole dancing, sensual movement and music to tell the story of a woman's lifelong struggle to take ownership of her own sexuality.

We promised a behind the scenes look at the making of Pole Play: Taking Flight, so here it is. I am very bummed. I have hurt my arm, pulled a major muscle so I can't lift it at all, and had to miss my pole dancing classes this week! I seriously had to use my other hand to lift my hurt arm up to the computer so I could type this, it's that bad. You might think I injured my arm from all the pole dancing, but I didn't. It was from slinging my overly heavy purse and backpack (symbolic baggage?) over the same shoulder when I was in a hurry to get somewhere! (I live in New York, we're always in a hurry. Don't really know why.) So now I can't even lift my right arm at all, and I'm a righty! This made me stop and think, why am I carrying so much heavy stuff around? I don't need it all. Actually, I don't need 90% of it! What I need is to drop all the extra shi--I mean stuff-- that is weighing me down physically, mentally, emotionally, spiritually! I need to drop the worry and the baggage so I can feel lighter and...and fly around the pole faster and higher! See there, in my world it always comes back to the pole! And...And...And I just got another idea for our play! Can't tell you all the details right now, but it involves letting go of the baggage that is weighing us down when we try to fly! Gotta go and write on the script right now, if I can keep my painful arm on the keyboard!
