| Debuting in September 2004 and Remixed in 2006, Aqua Beats and Moon Verses, Volume I upholds its stature as a must see and read production for womyn. The playwrights present an uncompromising and edgy compilation of poetry and prose, which celebrates womonhood, sistahood, and highlights the sexual, racial and social inequalities experienced by girls and womyn. Aqua Beats and Moon Verses, Volume I has sparked affirmative and relevant discourse on girl and womyn- centered topics. In 1974, Ntosake Shange, best known for her phenomenal choreopoem “for colored girls who considered suicide/when the rainbow is enuf,” coined the 'choreopoem' and described it as a play that combines the elements of poetry, sound and movement. On a similar path, AquaMoon delivers a riveting, unique experience of poetry, sound and movement that delves into the lives and minds of the urban Black female. Aqua Beats and Moon Verses: Volume I:
▪ Highlights womyn’s proactive role in activism and political struggle. ▪ Explores God as a feminine entity. ▪ Challenges the notion that only black boys need their fathers.
