The Shape of Me

Women flaunting their unique, beautiful, curvaceous shapes in all their glorious splendor? SIGN. ME. UP. At times, brutally heart-breaking tales were shared and other times, pure celebratory positivity came out. I really found myself THRILLED to be an audience member of The Shape of Me!! How could you not? Anyone suffering from any type of body dysmorphia (guilty party, right here) could relate to what Amanda and Vejune shared. I found myself clapping so much, tearing up, and laughing behind my mask. Some powerful truth telling happened at this show and I really, truly, desperately want this show to get MANY, MANY ENCORES!! ... full review

Very impressed. This performance went deep but never lost its way. I think it should continue to be workshopped and deserves to be expanded and taken on the road. ... full review

The show was very moving. Amanda and Vejune were powerful, vulnerable, funny, informative, and entertaining. At the same time, they delivered a strong message about gratitude, self love, and acceptance. It made me promise to be kinder and more loving of my own body. I hope they will take this show to other venues, so more people have an opportunity to hear their important message.... full review

What an exploration of truth, beauty and fatness. This show is not for fat people, but for others to understand what is it like navigating life in a larger body. I have been working to change my body for over 30 years and choose to embrace that like the show explores, my body is by design!!! Thank you for being vulnerable, entertaining and raw in this beautiful work.... full review
