The StreetFeet Women

The Streefeet Women, a culturally diverse company of writers and performers, was founded in Boston in 1982 by Mary Millner McCullough and Elena Harap. The group creates theater based on the writings of its members, celebrating the dignity and creativity with which ordinary women live their lives.

Streefeet performs in places where women live and work-in neighborhood libraries, community centers, prisons, schools, colleges and churches, as well as regional conferences.

"When I write I stumble on words because they have such power over me, over my memories, over my life. Sometimes, waking up to write, I feel like a night-thief stealing a moment to be with the moon, or journeying to the stars alone, leaving my kids behind. The trauma of war years, poverty, motherhood severed the coherent narrative of my inner voice. However, in the low hum of my computer I have discovered a trusted medium. Words are bones, ingredients for medicine. Writing heals."

Excerpt from "A Journey in Search of My Voice" by Li Min Mo.

The Road to Beijing documents the adventures of The Streetfeet Women, a multicultural company of writers and performers, and their lively articulate group of fellow travelers on the way to the United Nations Fourth World Conference on Women,China, 1995. Streetfeet journeyed to Kenya for the 1985 U.N. Decade for Women Conference in Nairobi, experiencing the poignant sense of homecoming this visit held for African-American group members and recording it in their journal Many Voices. This travel album gives an intimate look at a group of Americans whose lives are deeply touched by the Women's Conference-the largest meeting of it's kind in the history of the world-and by the beauty, energy and struggle of China in the 1990s.
