almost | Open Process : We Welcome You In!

Please join us on Saturday, April 9 at 7:30pm at BAX where we will be trying out ideas for our opening of almost, an interactive performance installation. This is a friendly and free workshop-style session inviting attendees to participate in visual and tactile activities while moving throughout the space attending to the beginnings of this work.  We will conclude our time with a community conversation.  We hope you will come and be a part of this creative exchange.

We are interested in how almost, a performance project that began prior to the pandemic, can welcome and invite the audience into a communal art-making workshop that provides connection and engagement into one’s own identity.  As the audience creates a visual artifact uplifting their identity, performers will assemble costumes and sets around them for the performance to begin.   *The full performance of the work will not be presented during this 75-minute workshop.

almost is directed by Donna Costello in collaborative co-authorship with visual designers  Larry Jackson & Jennifer Paar and performing artists Stacy Lynn Smith & Tina Wang.  almost will premiere June 24-26, 2022  at 7:30pm @CPR Performance Series.  Please follow us @almostperformanceproject for future information.  almost is supported by the For the Artists!
