"Awakening" April 7
Join Erin and the cast of The Teller’s Garden this First Friday, April 7th at The Portland Media Center. Our theme is “Awakening” and we invite audience members to volunteer true stories from their lives on this theme:
Spring is in the air, the buds are beginning to open, bulbs are emerging from the ground… What does it mean to awaken? When have you experienced this sensation? Was it all of a sudden, or a gradual dawning? What did you awaken to? What changed? Maybe you have a story of the opposite—stories off the theme are welcome too—maybe you have a story about staying asleep!! We want to hear your story and play it back… Let’s watch!
Playback joins the art of improvisation with deep listening and creative expression to honor the universal in our shared human experience. Each performance in a unique blend of real life grit, including the highs and lows and everything in between, and artistic interpretation by our actors.
We create a safe space in which all “tellers” are welcome and —we hope— moved to share from the heart with the aim of relating deeply to one another’s lived experiences.
