We are moving into the playwriting, music-composing stage of the project!
Between late January and today we have held 12 story circles in 5 locations in and around the Wellstone Center, Dunedin Homes and El Burrito Mercado. We are going to have a few more story-listening sessions in the next couple of weeks, especially hoping to hear from youth.
We have heard many rich stories. We know we've barely scratched the surface: we could keep listening to stories for months to come. While we do hope to hear more stories for a future projects, it is time now, to start writing a play and some music! We have lots of inspiration and ideas and are ready for this next step.
We are looking for musicians! If you know of musicians in the neighborhood who might be interested in pariticipating in this project, let us know. We hope to include music from the neighborhood's many cultures.
Watch this space for a preview of what's to come as the play starts to take shape. Also, watch for specific dates and times of upcoming events related to the project. In July we plan to host community readings of the play, a collaboration workshop, and community art workshops to create set componants.
