Event
FLASHPOINTS/UNBREAKABLE OBJECTS
A bowl, a broom, a cup, and a piece of paper unleash a theatrical experience where family obligation, regret, and loss are examined. Created and performed by participants in Regie Cabico's "Flashpoints" writing and performance workshop, the ensemble comes together on stage in a culmination of their 10-week collective journey using poetry, puppetry, and everyday objects to present a collaged play honoring the resiliency of the human heart.
With a screening of the "Re:location" Video Collage Project led by filmmaker Anula Shetty of Termite TV Collective. How do we capture the details and nuances of a transfer, a repositioning, a rearrangement, a replacement, a removal, a move? Aspiring filmmakers share intimate and humorous video portraits of their lives and surroundings to explore what makes a place special and what it means to relocate.
Featuring: Lovella Calica, Misia Denea, Jo Louie, J. Mason, Charles Ramirez, Manny Son, Omar Telan, Hannah Utain-Evans, Tyrell White
Videomakers: Dina Dashiell, Robert Hill, Hakeem Jefferson, Elizabeth Powers, Danny Seng, Amarjeet Singh, Larry Staton, Arif Zahir
