Just wanted to pass this on to others, I think it will be very 
interesting. Also I will be interviewing members of SubROSA on WEFT

About the performers:
subRosa is a reproducible cyberfeminist cell of cultural researchers 
committed to combining art, activism, and politics to explore and 
critique the intersections of the new information and 
bio-technologies in women's bodies, lives, and work. SubRosa produces 
contestational performances, activist campaigns and projects, 
publications, media interventions, and public forums that make 
visible the interconnections of technology, gender, and feminism and 
global capital; new bio and medical technologies; and the changed 
conditions of labor and reproduction for women in the integrated 
circuit. subRosa  practices a situational embodied feminist politics 
nourished by conviviality, self-determination, and the desire for 
affirmative affiliations and coalitions. Find out more about subrosa 
at www.cyberfeminism.net, and in Domain Errors! Cyberfeminist 
Practices: A subRosa Book (NY: Autonomedia, 2003) Current subRosa 
members: Steffi Domike, Laleh Mehran, Lucia Sommer, Faith Wilding, 
Hyla Willis.

Charles Frederick is a writer and cultural activist, with particular 
interest in cultural animation as an art and political form for 
community empowerment and mobilization.  He has been active in many 
struggles in the larger peace and justice movements for three decades 
on a grass roots level with a constant emphasis on the cultural 
dimensions of, and strategies for, organizing.  He served on the 
Board of Directors for the national community arts movement, the 
Alliance for Cultural Democracy and was an editor for its journal, 
Cultural Democracy.  During the period of the Solidarity movements of 
the early 80s, he designed street demonstrations as community 
performance forms and for a period of ten years worked in the gay 
Catholic community in New York, leading AIDS efforts and a cultural 
animation project called The Cathedral Project to oppose the 
institutional Church's persecution of gay people.  Charles has been 
an editor of several independent journals and has published poetry, 
fiction and criticism.

Lisa Fay is a composing and performing movement-based theatre artist, 
known for applying complex composed structures to ordinary human 
behavior. Notated movement scores often accompany her productions. 
Her professional history with her performance partner, Jeff Glassman, 
includes an NEA Choreography Fellowship, tours and residencies since 
1971 in the U.S., Eastern and Western Europe, Mexico and Cuba, and 
featured performances at national and international festivals

and the First International Festival of Mime in Mexico. They appear 
at theatres and universities around the US, on public television, and 
as selected roster artists of the Illinois and Missouri arts 
councils. Awards include two Illinois Arts Council Artists Fellowship 
Awards for Choreography.  Lisa Fay is the coordinator of 'Inner
