A two woman show (by the nationally acclaimed and award winning performance duo - Climbing PoeTree) about unnatural disaster and a great shift in universal consciousness.
Hurricane Season is a post-Katrina performance uprising: a multi-media show and movement strategy that draws vital connections between shared struggles and common solutions in a critical moment in national and global history.
Through a tapestry of spoken-word poetry, theater, video projection, dance, shadow art, and a sound collage of personal testimonies, Hurricane Season connects the issues that surfaced in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina to the “unnatural disasters” disenfranchised communities are experiencing nationwide on a daily basis.
With a set built of bamboo, calabash, and water that surrounds the audience in a circle of shadow and light, Hurricane Season transforms spaces into sanctuaries of healing, witness, and imagination.
The post-show "solutions-cipher" is to address the issues surfaced in Hurricane Season on a local level, to cross-pollinate creative strategies for self-determination, and to turn the passion generated in the show into action manifested in the community. The conversation will be centered around the idea that every city is undergoing its own "hurricane season," identifying the "unnatural disaster" and the response strategy in every community. The facilitation model we have developed is centered on building bridges, creating safety nets, and finding solutions to the interconnected problems our communities face—how can we become agents for change rather than victims of circumstance?
September 18 and September 19 ~ Show begins at 7:30pm
Tickets: $15 ($10 for Students with Valid ID - available at the door)
