About this Event
Join for a night of storytelling, connecting and witnessing on the theme of "Hidden in Plain Sight.” This will be an open mic night, but with more community building baked in. We'll start with a warm up, move into shares, take a break, continue the shares and end with a collective ritual.
About the theme: Often, solutions to problems are here with us, but something blocks us from seeing them. Whether the person of your dreams was your next door neighbor, your gender identity was apparent from early on or a pattern took you a long time to recognize, but you finally did, this night is your time to shine. Come tell your story or enjoy hearing others about this theme. Any interpretation, however vague :), of the theme is welcome and all sharing formats are very welcome too! Stories, songs, poems or other type of performative art are encouraged.
