Brooms & Wombs, a reproductive rights fundraiser has been rescheduled for Saturday, November 6 at 4:30 p.m. taking place at the Mineral Springs Farm in Guilford, Vermont. The suggested donation is $10 (but no one will be turned away).
The dance performance will be a celebration of fertility and reproductive freedom, with all donations benefiting Planned Parenthood and NARAL (National Abortion Rights Action League), according to organizer Mary Wallace.
"It is certainly a 'not-to-be-missed' fun, family-friendly event with witch-costumed dancers, several fire pits, a smoke machine and a "Texan weenie roast" but with the serious agenda of raising both awareness and funds for reproductive rights that are increasingly endangered," Wallace explained.
Dancers dressed as witches and waving broomsticks will perform The Witch Dance, a choreographed line dance to Schuttel deinen Speck, in English: Shake Your Bacon, by German Reggae-Pop artist, Peter Fox. It was first performed by a group of women in Germany and has since become a sort of universal anthem for female power.
The historic Mineral Springs Farm is located at 49 Carpenter Hill Rd. in Guilford, Vermont, a stone's throw from the Guilford Center Library and Meeting House on Guilford Center Road.
There will be some signage before the farm, indicating parking locations. Event go-ers are encouraged to carpool whenever possible and bring a lawn chair or blanket, mask and a light to illuminate the walk back to your vehicle after the event. Every effort will be to be socially distanced.
