Circle the World with Hugs
CUCALORUS 30 International Film Festival - Filmmakers Lounge
November 24, 2024
Our conceptual printmaking and performance
event is only the beginning as you and people like you spread a
chain of hugs around the world. Our collective of people will share
their experiences and/or stories to be published on our Facebook
and Instagram social media accounts, building cultural humility
and breaking down divisions. We hope that our performances will
be a catalyst to involve persons/ animals/ ecosystems/ classrooms/etc.
in promoting love everywhere. Please join us!
Tell us your stories of positive communications
with people and hugging on our social media.

REAL LIFE TEST, a performance collaboration
piece With Motion Picture Show and Nick Kepley Wilmington
NC 2017
An immersive, physical theatre work which
plunges audiences into the center of a dystopian world where past
and future collide with dizzying force. Exploring themes of governmental
control, gender expression and the desire for self-identification,
the work questions whether an inherent price must be paid in order
to achieve a fully integrated and equal society. Over the course
of two hours, audiences are free to explore the highly detailed,
sprawling world - encountering performers in group, duet and one-on-one
scenarios. Supported in part by the Cucalorus Film Foundation and
developed by Motion Picture Show of NYC and Nick Kepley.
