How We Survive: A Feminist Poetry Show - Wellington Edition

Lift women’s voices. Burn the Patriarchy down. How We Survive is a feminist spoken word performance featuring internationally acclaimed poets Olivia Hall and Carrie Rudzinski. This two women show presents a biting and honest narrative on what is to be a woman living and surviving in 2016. Addressing everything from rape culture to body image to heartbreak to Hermione as a feminist role model, this show carries a switchblade and a hallelujah. Hailing from New Zealand and America respectively, Hall and Rudzinski blend their voices into a powerful one hour performance promising to heal, nurture, and spark discussion. Carrie Rudzinski ranked 4th in the world at the 2014 Women of the World Poetry Slam and has performed her work across New Zealand, Australia, Canada, India and in almost all 50 of the United States. She is the author of four collections of poetry and has had her work featured in Huffington Post, Teen Vogue, and Bustle. Carrie is the 2016 Programme Director for Rising Voices Youth Poetry Movement and is currently a Guest Lecturer at Manukau Institute of Technology's Faculty of Creative Arts teaching Spoken Word. Olivia Hall is the 2015 Matariki Slam Champion, the 2015 Capital Slam Champion and placed third at the New Zealand National Slam Finals in Hamilton. Performing poetry since 2013, Olivia is one of the organisers for Wellington's acclaimed poetry organisation, Poetry in Motion, and is currently completing her Honours degree in Sociology at Victoria University of Wellington.
