EVENTS

Come enjoy a no-experience-necessary, theatrical jazz-inspired game/interactive audience experience! Developed over the past six months through a series of workshops created by Touchstone MFA candidate Ms. Latrice Young, these two performances serve as both a sharing of what the participants created during the workshops, as well as an opportunity for the audience to play along in their own way. Under the guidance of Ms. Latrice’s facilitation, attendees are encouraged to creatively express themselves and are invited to share live feedback about what they enjoy and/or appreciate throughout the game.

WHAT TO EXPECT

This performance is largely dependent on audience instruction and participation. Game instructions will be handed to you when you arrive, and the rules of the game will be thoroughly explained. Expect mistakes, laughter, and authentic reactions. Mostly importantly: HAVE FUN!
