zAmya is co-hosting a special event with our longtime friend and collaborator, Eric Avery. Come join the OPEN REHEARSAL process for Eric's latest participatory performance. If you're curious about collective/individual healing, experimental performance, this is for you!
A free Ethiopian meal will be served at 5:15pm. OPEN REHEARSAL will start at 6:00pm sharp. Eric will share goals for the session and details about the project before beginning. Eventually, you may be asked to participate in the performance by answering a question, doing a simple task, sharing an opinion, etc. This is a new experimental work in development, so there are many unknowns and these evenings will help illuminate the path forward.
When: Thursday, June 5 @ 5:15-8:15pm
Where: 825 Arts (825 University Avenue West Saint Paul, MN 55104)
Cost: FREE!
Reservations: required; reserve a spot online here
Questions?: email Maren Ward, zAmya’s Executive Artistic Director, at maren@zamyatheater.org
More information: This multidisciplinary interactive performance provides participants an opportunity to learn about, discuss, envision, and practice individual and collective healing. The experience is intended for an audience of diverse identities and opinions whose choices will guide them through various chapters of the piece, much like a choose-your-own-adventure book, punctuated and/or interwoven by discrete moments of performance by e. Franklin and self-selecting participants. The goals of the project are to heighten participants’ understanding of intersectional healing/repair and to build practical skills in advancing this notion through role play and experiential learning. More about the project and Eric can be found here.
Getting there: The building is located near the Victoria Street stop of the Green Line Light rail. The stop has ramps, wheelchair friendly cars, and runs every 15 minutes. Lot parking is available at Ryan Plumbing on the corner of Avon and University. Street parking is available on the surrounding blocks. Street parking is available on University Avenue after 6PM. Accessible parking drop off is available at 825 Arts’ neighbor, Demera.
