SUMMARY:FACING GRIEF: Nourishing Ourselves and Others Through Loss
DESCRIPTION:The Nov. 5 performance at 4pm will have live captioning to a screen.\nThe Nov. 7 performance at 7pm will has ASL interpretation.\nAll other accommodation requests should be made by Oct. 20. \nMany of us don’t know what to say or do when a loved one experiences profound grief. Through live theatrical enactments of various scenarios\, audiences are invited to practice reacting to loss and supporting those they love. \nOur brains are wired for survival\, not loss\, creating significant challenges in the aftermath of profound grief. FACING GRIEF\, a presentation of The Sapphire Theatre’s award-winning PICTURE THIS® applied theatre programming\, engages improvisational actors to act out brief scenarios. Staying in character\, they “break the fourth wall” for an interactive talk back with the audience at the crisis point of each scene. Society and the community can do better for those who are hurting. Theatre can help show the way by allowing participants to practice how to have hard conversations\, hold space\, and listen. Musicians\, interfaith ministers\, educators\, counselors and other subject matter experts will help facilitate this event. \nFACING GRIEF will also be performed twice on November 5 at Unity Indianapolis. The 11:30am performance will follow a specially-themed worship service (10am) that all are welcome to attend! A second performance is scheduled for 4pm. FACING GRIEF will be performed a final time on Nov. 7 at the Phoenix Theatre. If interested in these other performances\, please return to the event calendar and register for those dates/times. \nQuestions? Contact 317-966-7529 or andrea@sapphiretheatre.com \nEvent Partners: Sapphire Theatre Co.; Phoenix Theatre Cultural Center; Unity of Indianapolis; Jon Swanson\, PhD.; Deandra Dycus; and Congregation Beth-El Zedeck. \nEvent Registration: Registration requested by Nov. 3\, but walk-ins are welcome as space permits. Registration link forthcoming. \nAudience Note: This program is focused on people who are seeking to better support loved ones experiencing profound bereavement. However\, those currently grieving are welcome to attend – care is being shown to create an emotionally safe space. Additionally\, the November 3 gather will include a post-event reception. \n \n  \n  \n

SUMMARY:Balsa Wood\, a play by Lou Harry
DESCRIPTION:On the road away from rather than toward anything\, Robin finds refuge in the home of Carrie\, an iconoclast with an open heart and an open door\, who provides a place—without judgment—for human strays. An audience-inclusive discussion about unspoken gratitude will follow the performance. \nIntimately staged for a limited number of audience members at each performance\, Balsa Wood centers on characters struggling with their pasts and finding connection with those who\, on the surface\, are different from themselves. Yes\, it has intense moments\, but it also has humor and provides a chance to see through the surfaces of those who seem unfamiliar. \nIn a post-performance discussion\, audience members are invited to become part of an open discussion about unspoken gratitude and people they’ve known or witnessed who have done something for others without expectation or acknowledgement. \nDates & Times: Saturday\, Nov. 2 at 3PM & 7PM and Sunday\, Nov. 3 at 3PM. \nQuestions?: Contact 317-990-1698 or caitlin@indyconvergence.org. \nEvent Organizers: A play by Lou Harry produced by Indy Convergence. \nRegistration: Limited seating. Tickets $15 in advance/$20 at the door. Use the blue button below to register.

SUMMARY:The Cultural Construction of Gratitude
DESCRIPTION:While the act of gratitude is universal\, its expression is based on cultural norms. Our event invites you to learn about and explore how different cultures express gratitude through interactive vignettes and meaningful conversation. \n“Gratitude” seems simple enough\, but when you layer in different cultural interpretations\, it becomes far more nuanced than one might expect. A politeness learned from an early age in one cultural setting may be seen as rudeness in another. In three short vignettes\, audience members will experience scenes from different cultures illustrating various ways gratitude may be expressed. At one point the scene will freeze and a narrator will invite the audience into the scene\, first by asking what they saw then by engaging the various actors (who will remain in character) in dialogue. The audience will have an opportunity to experience how different communities view gratitude and its expression while building their own cultural competencies. \nQuestions?: Contact 317-531-6299 or gkelley@bez613.org. \nEvent Organizers: A partnership between Congregation Beth-El Zedeck\, IU Indianapolis Department of World Languages and Cultures\, and Alley Theatre Company. \nRegistration: Walk-in guests are welcome\, but registration is encouraged.
