BOLD (Birth On Labor Day), the global arts-based movement to create childbirth choices that work for mothers brings together artists, community groups and childbirth leaders. BOLD Performance events bring the issue of childbirth choices for mothers center stage. Birth is a critically acclaimed documentary-style play that tells the birth stories of eight women, painting an alarming picture of how low-risk, educated mothers are giving birth today. The play has been hailed as, The Vagina Monologues for birth by women's health expert Dr. Christiane Northrup. Over 100 performances of the play Birth are happening in cities across America during September, the month of Labor Day, to raise awareness and money for childbirth choices that work for mothers. Proceeds from performances of Birth in Buffalo will go to Life Cycles Center in support of Emerald Waters Birth Center. Their mission is to provide personalized health and maternity care to all women based on the Midwifery Model of Care in a home-like setting, offering a supportive atmosphere where pregnancy and birth are honored and respected.
