What happens in a performance?
You arrive in a theatre, a studio, in a park, or in someone's back yard. Sit down on a blanket or in a chair. And the silence begins. The ensemble enters ceremoniously. A musician and a conductor, too.
There is a theme for the evening -- FOR EXAMPLE "Letting go".
The troupe welcomes you, and soon they ask a question:
“What is your biggest feeling about letting go?”
After a pause, you raise your hand hesitantly: “Right now I am feeling...” you begin with your feeling and continue to briefly explain. Before you know it, your story is recast by the actors in movements, rhythmic sounds and snippets of your story, creating a curious, lively sculpture of your experience.
You can’t help but smile.
They got it.
Then other audience members share stories and have their stories played back to them.
There even seems to be a way that the stories are talking to each other, and that even a story that is not your own has something for you to hear and learn. After the performance you notice you feel more connected to yourself and your fellow audience members / community.
