Out of the Blocks: 100 S. Broadway

I was honored to serve as a field producer / community liaison for the Out of the Blocks episode on 100 S. Broadway. Part I, featuring members of Baltimore's American Indian community, is now live! Check us out.

"Baltimore became a second home to members of North Carolina’s Lumbee tribe when they immigrated to the city after World War II, trading in farm work for factory and construction jobs.  Since then, the Baltimore American Indian Center on the 100 block of S Broadway has been a cultural hub for the transplanted Lumbee people and other Native Americans in the city.  In this episode: Conversations with Urban Indians about family, spirituality, and identity.

Funding for podcast production provided by the Corporation for Public Broadcasting and PRX, the Public Radio Exchange. Out of the Blocks is produced with grant funding from the Cohen Opportunity Fund, the William G. Baker, Jr. Memorial Fund (creator of the Baker Artist Portfolios), Sig and Barbara Shapiro, Patricia and Mark Joseph, Jonathan Melnick, The Andy and Sana Brooks Family Foundation, The Hoffberger Foundation, Associated Jewish Charities, The John J. Leidy Foundation, The Kenneth S. Battye Charitable Trust, and The Muse Web Foundation.

Submersive Productions to present The Plunge

I don't always (ever!) do performance, but when I do...

gallery-3

I'll be participating as both a "maker" and a "teller" in this immersive theater performance for audiences of 1 (at a time) happening in Baltimore later this month.

"Plunge includes five stories and installations exploring the theme of 'the other.' Storytellers have paired with installation artists to present unique immersive environments and one-on-one experiences for audience members during this limited run of performances. Audience members will be able to experience three of the five stories during each 30-minute reservation spot."

If you would like to read more about it, we got a little press coverage from Broadway World.

There are still some tickets for sale if you would be interested in attending. They can be purchased here.
