Post Natyam Collective – September 2006 Newsletter
Dear Friends,
We are ecstatic to welcome the newest member of the Post Natyam family…Neva! Anjali is the proud mother of Neva, a 7 pounds 11 ounce, baby girl born in Kansas, August 26th, 2006 at 11:43pm.
While still in the womb, Neva helped Anjali direct our new show "Meet the Goddess," which is about to premiere in Prague, Czech Republic, Sept 14, 2006. The following day, September 15, 2006 the Prague Bollywood Festival ( www.bollywood.cz) co-organized by Sangita, kicks off with a pre-festival screening at Strelecky Ostrov.
We hope to see some of our European or traveling friends in Prague for "Meet the Goddess", or in Munich for Art sensAsian on October 1, 2006, or in one of Sandra's workshops in Munich (the first of which went quite well. It is still possible to join the remaining three workshops).
Warmly,
Shyamala, Sandra, Sangita and Anjali

Call for Writing: Yo! Submit to issue three of WO! Magazine
Deadline 10 September 2006
Wo! Magazine is an online Australian feminist magazine.
Wo! is a response and alternative to the gossip, celebrity-focused, does-he-love-me, weight-obsessed drivel that currently fills women's magazines in Australia.
It is an attempt to provide interesting, timely and amusing content that isn't focused on commercial mass culture and giving women hang ups about their bodies and sexuality.
Whilst, obviously being unapologetically feminist Wo! wants to strike a balance between entertaining and arresting. We want to create a good read, a magazine filled with good writing and journalism created by women.
If you have anything you would like to see published in Wo! send to: edi...@wo-magazine.com

Yoni Ki Baat Auditions and Call for Submissions
7, 8, 11, 12 September 2006
Thurs, Sept 7 Rutgers Student Center 3-7 p.m.
Fri, Sept 8 Livingston Student Center 3-7 p.m.
Mon, Sept 11 Busch Student Center 3-7 p.m.
Tues, Sept 12 Douglass Student Center 3-7 p.m.
New Brunswick, NJ 08901
NO EXPERIENCE IS NECESSARY
Originated by "South Asian Sisters" on the west coast, the show will be the second of its kind, in the midst of one of the largest concentrations of people in the country who trace their origins to South Asia.
'Yoni Ki Baat' is a theatrical performance that strives to create a safe space for often marginalized South Asian experiences of identity, along different lines of class, race, gender, nationality, religion, sexuality/sexual orientation, immigration, and South Asian diaspora (including Caribbean identity). The pieces will challenge stereotypes and reconstruct the figure of a South Asian woman. The result is an eclectic confrontation of issues from identity, to labor rights, to sexual violence, all critically engaged in the question of what liberation means for people of South Asian descent.
We are currently looking for submissions of literary works to be included in our October 2006 script. Although we have traditionally performed monologues, poetry and dialogue will also be accepted. We welcome any and all submissions; we want everyone's voice to be heard.
The production team of Yoni Ki Baat is currently too small in comparison to the large scale of the actual show. Help and advice is always needed in the areas of back stage production such as, music, props, set design, promotions, funding, etc. If possible, we would love if you could lend us a helping hand in any way.
For further information, to submit a literary work, to offer any suggestions or help, contact:
Suguna Sridhar: sugunas@eden. rutgers.edu .

NO EXPERIENCE IS NECESSARY
Originated by "South Asian Sisters" on the west coast, the show will be the second of its kind, in the midst of one of the largest concentrations of people in the country who trace their origins to South Asia.
'Yoni Ki Baat' is a theatrical performance that strives to create a safe space for often marginalized South Asian experiences of identity, along different lines of class, race, gender, nationality, religion, sexuality/sexual orientation, immigration, and South Asian diaspora (including Caribbean identity). The pieces will challenge stereotypes and reconstruct the figure of a South Asian woman. The result is an eclectic confrontation of issues from identity, to labor rights, to sexual violence, all critically engaged in the question of what liberation means for people of South Asian descent.
We are currently looking for submissions of literary works to be included in our October 2006 script. Although we have traditionally performed monologues, poetry and dialogue will also be accepted. We welcome any and all submissions; we want everyone's voice to be heard.
The production team of Yoni Ki Baat is currently too small in comparison to the large scale of the actual show. Help and advice is always needed in the areas of back stage production such as, music, props, set design, promotions, funding, etc. If possible, we would love if you could lend us a helping hand in any way.
For further information, to submit a literary work, to offer any suggestions or help, contact:
