Your #HealMeToo Stories: A Moth-Inspired Event--presented by #HealMeToo Festival
PERFORMS:
Sat 4/13 at 7pm
LENGTH OF SHOW: 90 minutes
At IRT Theater:
154 Christopher St. NYC (west of Hudson)
Buzzer 3B (third floor)
Join us to celebrate intersectional members of the community as they take the stage to share their own true personal stories. This performance will be the culminating event of a #HealMeToo Festival Storytelling for Change workshop, taught by Speech/Act co-founders Micaela Blei and Onnesha Roychoudhuri, who met as expert facilitators and storytellers at The Moth.
To honor where the survivors on stage and in the audience may be at, our focus wont dwell on graphic details. Those taking to the stage will share a story about how their #MeToo experience has led to a moment of healing, however seemingly small. Maybe it was a time when something shifted or lifted just a bit. Maybe they noticed signs of progress or even a breakthrough. It could be about a time they didnt think they were healing at all. Or the moment when they asked their community to change in order to move forward. Together, well witness stories as various, surprising--and also joyful--as healing itself can be.
