In 1997…
three dynamic visionary artists; Mama Kay Lawal-Muhammad, Mama Nata'aska Hasan Humminbird, and Mama Rashida Forman-Bey merged to form the directorial team of WombWork Productions, Inc. located in Baltimore, Maryland. The theatre company started out as a summer program that offered professional training in theatre, dance, drumming, vocals, and stage management. Programming was designed to assist participants in transforming fears, anger, confusion, ignorance, and self-discrimination into positive performances on stage. In 2001, WombWork Productions, Inc. partnered with Johns Hopkins School of Nursing to implement An Arts-Based Initiative for the Prevention of Violence Against Women and Girls, which was the subject of a 5-year study by the CDC (Centers for Disease Control). The study showed that the arts-based model, which draws on therapeutic and traditional cultural healing modalities, reduced violent behavior among youth in four urban middle schools and changed the climate that was prevalent in those schools.
All life comes from the womb. Out of the darkness comes the light of understanding. WombWork Productions, Inc. brings together art and spirit through traditional art forms and showcases socially relevant productions that empower performers and youth in social change issues.
