In the pre-Roe v. Wade era, activists in Chicago, calling themselves ‘Jane,’ built an underground network for women with unwanted pregnancies and provided illegal abortions to an estimated 11,000 women. Flyaway Productions’ new site work, ODE TO JANE, appreciates this history of resistance and brings a contemporary lens to what resistance looks like in the San Francisco Bay Area’s Tenderloin, right now. We will incorporate oral histories, suspended rocking chairs, and aerial dance on fire escapes and walls. We will evoke an expanded idea of what resistance is amidst racial reckoning, the addiction crisis, the city’s housing catastrophe, threats to women’s bodies, and the complex intersection of these realities.
