Join The Triangle Lab (the new name for our partnership with Intersection for the Arts and Campo Santo) in creating a performance response to recent events at #OccupyOakland, to be performed at the general strike demonstrations in Oakland next Wednesday November 2. This is an open call for theater artists, dancers, musicians, writers, or anyone interested in contributing or suggesting a story to be performed.
Performances will be on the street, brief, unamplified, and various; based on tweets, videos, and other stories coming out of the Occupy movement,responding, specifically, to one of these three prompts:
QUESTIONS:
1. Whose story do you most want to share?
2. What would you like to hear the crowd chanting?
3. What would the world look like if it belonged to the 99%?
ONLINE
Share a story you’d like to see performed by actors or answer one of the other questions we’re using as prompts.
