Amplify & Ignite: Creative Practice in and With Communities

Hey you, yes You, watching Netflix, while scrolling through Insta, and checking your email, no worries; I do it too! You are invited to Laying Labyrinths: A Living Performance. A space to practice gathering. A place to participate in reconnecting to yourself, the earth, and the community we create. We will circle up, play, walk, dream, and remember how interconnected we are to everything! Laying Labyrinths is a participatory living performance in which the audience/ community that gathers will be invited to witness and play with the interconnections between ourselves, each other, and the earth. We will lay an ephemeral labyrinth together in collaboration with the space. That is the hope for each performance: that the community looks across the circle, sees each other, feels their feet on the earth, lays a labyrinth on top of it, and walks it together. As we re-emerged from the Pandemic, I found a deep desire to return and remember theatre's roots and connect back to the earth. From this desire, and my graduate research around improvisation, chaos and living systems theories, this performance was born. It is a space to practice gathering and activating communities.
