PATCHOGUE STORIES - MOVING BEYOND GRIEF AND ANGER TOWARDS HEALING AND CHANGE
Greetings! If the young men accused of Marcelo's death had known him, had heard his story, would that terrible night have happened? We'll never know. If you agree that its critical for our youth and for all of us to get to know each other better, then this is a performing arts project that we know can help and that needs your support.
Here are four ways you can help:
1. Come see our show...attend our workshop.PLAYBACK THEATER (NYC) SATURDAY, JANUARY 31, 2009-7:30-9PM. The Congregational Church of Patchogue 95 East Main Street Patchogue, NY.Rev. Dwight Lee Wolter has opened his church as an important gathering place for the Ecuadorian community and others during this difficult time. This, our first performance will be strictly non-religious and take place in the reception area.Playback Theater does not bring a prepared script, rather we'll invite people to tell stories and then act them out on the spot...play them back using improvisation, free form hip hop, music and movement. This has proven very effective because people are not invited to a "conflict resolution session" or a debate...but rather to a live exciting show for the whole family. We have found that sharing our perspectives, hearing the stories of others and seeing them embodied on the stage with art and humanity is a powerful way to build empathy and a stronger community.
PLAYBACK WORKSHOP SATURDAY, JANUARY 31, 2009-Noon-5PM. We will be conducting an introductory playback workshop in the afternoon at the church. This will give local actors, dancers, musicians and others a first hand idea of what it would mean to build a Patchogue Playback company. All ages and levels of experience are welcome. More on training.
2. Become a sponsor. Sponsoring Individuals and Groups. (We want your name Here).We hope to have as many sponsors as possible from Patchogue and beyond; education, government, religious, business, labor, fraternal, arts, cultural and other community groups.Please contact Paul McIsaac @ 631-537-7889 or paulmci@optinline.net
3. How can we make this Playback workshop and performance FREE ?We want this to be free to all comers, we want to remove financial barriers for all, due to the timeliness and urgency of this work. To do this we need your help. Here's a breakdown our costs for seven members doing a noon to 4PM workshop and the evening show.Travel Playback $200. Honorarium Playback actors $700.Noon to 10PM custodial fee $150.Advertising $500. Total.......................$1550.
