Hand Me the Sword: A Modern Fairytale A solo performance of my own design

Abstract

Hand Me the Sword: A Modern Fairytale follows Asialani, a young woman who has experienced a lot of trauma, while she learns that she is worthy of love and respect. So many women feel that they are defined by their trauma, and if someone has the mindset that she’s “broken,” it teaches those around her to treat her as such, which then reinforces that mindset. Hand Me the Sword: A Modern Fairytale shows how a little kindness and respect can help empower a woman to break that cycle.
