A4 May Town Hall: Healing

Artists have always been central to helping individuals and communities process grief, connect, and take care. A4’s May Town Hall will gather the many creatives whose practice is centered around the work of healing.

Featured presenters include Noelle Ghoussaini, who will be sharing about her work leading creative ceremonies & sacred spaces for artists, organizers, students in participatory community gatherings, and how she engages these healing practices in her newest theatre works in development: a shadow of light and The Magic Bullet, a co-creation with LubDub Theatre. We’ll also hear from Huiyin Zhou of the CAO Collective, who will be sharing about their work with Chinese massage parlor workers in partnership with Red Canary Song, and the Ciba Punch, a collective performance involving punching steamed rice into a sticky rice cake.

Additionally, the evening will feature a line-up of brief pitches from the community. After the presentations, we’ll host a potluck meal, so please bring something to share; homemade or store bought items are welcome. A4 will provide drinks.
