Why is connection so important and what are the lengths people will go to for a beautiful, tiny shard of it? Ranging from a school’s nurse’s office at the age of 8 all the way to an empty ice rink at the age of 38, the lives of Kayleen and Doug intersect at the most bizarre intervals, leading the two childhood friends to compare scars and the physical calamities that keep drawing them together. A play with scars, vomit, and clammy hands. Come see "Gruesome Playground Injuries" by Rajiv Joseph, March 6-8th at ShoutHouse (Hand2Mouth) 210 SE Madison.

Yesterday was our Mindfulness & Intimacy day. “The kids” (as Rajiv Joseph refers to his characters) learned several mindfulness techniques including: Mindful movement Warm fuzzy Watching your breath Mindful journaling Naming thoughts as they arise How to set your body up for success Setting a SMART goal The five pillars of Intimacy Directors International And then they created their very own pre- and post-rehearsal mindfulness routines. This daily ritual, if you will, creates a muscle memory effect that trains your body to know that the emotions it experiences during scene work are separate from real-life trauma. Finally, we began choreographing each physical contact/intimate moment in the show. It was a big day and these amazing young artists did beautifully!! Very, very proud of them and the rehearsal environment we are creating together. 💜 Have you gotten your tickets yet? March is right around the corner.
