Make Art out of Your Politics
Personal and Politics in Performance
Phil Porter
Washington, DC
Weekend Friday 7pm to Sunday 4pm
In this political season we can be sure that many of the issues that are important to us will not be addressed. Can we play with our political information? Make art and performance out of it? Express our hope or our rage?
Join Phil Porter for a weekend of playing around with politics. Bring your knowing and not-knowing about the issues that move you. We will figure out ways both individually and together to rant and rave, to discuss and debate, to sing and dance and tell our stories about life in the giant and maddening community we call the United States. Laughter guaranteed!
You don't need to be a political expert or performer to take part!
The Big Yes (DC) and Off The Deep End (NC) will perform on Saturday night (in an open concert at Seekers Church), showing how they do the political thing. $15 performance only
Friday and Saturday will be at Seekers Church (see below).
