Notes

Video documentation of FOMMAs performance La Voz de FOMMA (The Voice of FOMMA), presented as a part of the 6th Encuentro of the Hemispheric Institute of Performance and Politics, celebrated in June of 2007 in Buenos Aires, Argentina under the title CORPOLÍTICAS en las Américas: Formaciones de Raza, Clase y Género / Body Politics in the Americas: Formations of Race, Class and Gender. The performance, comprised of 5 skits, functions as a sampling of FOMMAs theater work: Space for Venting/ Drunkards at a Bar, Sebastiana Puts her Husbands Boots on Him, Sebastiana Waits for the Doctor, ' Drunken Doctor, and a brief introduction to the work of FOMMA by performers Isabel Juárez Espinosa and María Francisca Oseguera Cruz. Fortaleza de la Mujer Maya (FOMMA) is a Mexican NGO in Chiapas whose mission is to empower Mayan women through bilingual literacy courses (in Tzotzil and Tzeltal), workshops in productive skills, health education and theater.
