CoochieMagik brings a woman's gospel to the altar of the stage. Through hip-hop inspired spoken word scripture, ritual and comedic monologue, Bell's one-woman insurgency addresses the socio-spiritual journey of women, the conceptual ownership of their bodies and sexuality as well as their intelligence and capacity for healing through self-love.CoochieMagik is an act of resistance toward the corporately-sanctioned attack on women in mainstream mass media. Bell engages the spaces between spell, song and chant to resurrect, affirm and celebrate a divine feminine consciousness.A national slam champion, acclaimed spoken word artist, educator and healer, Christa Bell’s raw, unapologetic approach addresses the often insidious cultural impact of misogyny, self-hate and the loss of spirituality on the lives of women and works to challenge and transform mainstream perceptions as well. CoochieMagik, a spiritual and political journey is a revival that intersects hip-hop theater, poetry and ritual.
