One Body
Dispatches from Idaho
A civic gathering. A theatrical event. A call to action.
One Body – a new one-woman play
THE PRO-VOICE PROJECT’S One Body: Dispatches From Idaho offers an intimate exploration of the real‑world repercussions wrought by abortion bans in deeply conservative states.
Constructed from interviews with women, doctors, politicians, and activists on the front lines of America’s reproductive rights battles, One Body weaves narratives of pain, resilience, and hope into a cautionary tale of a bellwether state—and what it foreshadows for us all.
2025 NYC debut
The June 2, 2025 debut of One Body followed the “lone abortion activist in North Idaho,” as she seeks to break through partisan echo chambers by harnessing the power, nuance, and complexity of telling one’s own story.
Coming to Seattle in January 2026
Now, Alive Wire steps in to carry One Body further—transforming it through performance, collaboration, and civic dialogue in a January 23-25 workshop at Seattle Open Arts Place.

‘One Body changes the conversation around reproductive rights because it does what headlines and legislation can’t: It humanizes the fight,’ said Quintano. ‘In a climate where policy debates erase people, One Body centers real stories…’”

I feel so much comfort and freedom and the lifting of a burden when we share. We become one unified body.
Because we all have the same body.
