Relative Theatrics kicks off Season 8: A NEW WAY FORWARD with the World Premiere of AND THE WIND HOWLS, by Leean Kim Torske

8/18/2020

1 Comment

 
Relative Theatrics kicks off their 8th Season: A NEW WAY FORWARD with a hybrid theatre/film production of AND THE WIND HOWLS by Leann Kim Torske, September 4th-13th, 2020, virtually. The development team for this contemporary Wyoming play includes Anne Mason, Jared Mohr-Leiva, Lea Bergman, and Kat Tyler. This World Premiere is commissioned by Relative Theatrics and The Wyoming Arts Council.

Jen (Kat Tyler) returns to her small Wyoming hometown after an eye-opening first year of college. She wants a different life than her family had, but she’s decided that Wyoming might not be so bad after all. Her best friend Amber (Lea Bergman) can’t wait to leave. The one thing they agree on is that their small town has never felt so small. Inspired by Wyoming’s history of trailblazing women, Jen buckles down to create social progress, change local politics, or if nothing else, show her mom (Anne Mason) that a rough-talking, hard-working Wyoming woman can shift the way the wind is blowing.

AND THE WIND HOWLS will be filmed using a point-of-view shot where the audience experiences the story through one perspective at a time. Point of view shots are a creative form of filming to maintain the visual intimacy for the audience that they would otherwise experience when viewing a live Relative Theatrics performance in the Gryphon Theatre.
 
Individual Tickets and Season Passes can be purchased online at: Relativetheatrics.com/annual-campaign

Relative Theatrics strives to present thought-provoking theatre that examines the joining qualities of the human race. We believe that theatre is a forum with the power to illuminate the binding qualities of humanity and reinforce the ideals that as a society we have values that pose as common ground and emotions that relate us to one another. Taking artistic risk, we provide a community gathering place where thoughts can be exchanged about society, culture, and the power of creativity.

Discussions of the performance will include a chat-back with the actors, director, and playwright that will be scheduled at a later date. The play contains adult themes and language.

Tickets:  $15
​

*SUBSCRIBERS WILL RECEIVE A PRIVATE VIEWING LINK FOR AT-HOME STREAMING on September 4th!  The link can be used anytime from September 4-13.
AND THE WIND HOWLS is supported in part by grants from the Wyoming Arts Council, the National Endowment for the Arts, Wyoming Humanities, and the National Endowment for the Humanities.

Bipoc Action Item: Read the article When Black People Are In Pain, White People Just Join Book Clubs, by Tre Johnson

Action item: Read the article When Black People Are In Pain, White People Just Join Book Clubs, by Tre Johnson
  • Where to read: The Washington Post, via this link.
  • Time needed: 10 minutes
  • What it's about: Writer Tre Johnson speaks to the inaction of white people during times of crisis, how they talk in circles around race, but don't do anything to truly help or enact real change. 
  • Discussion questions: 
    • How did reading the title of this article feel? Did it give you a specific lens when reading the rest of the article? Why?
    • Johnson argues that even his liberal, "woke" friends are living in a world of signalship and optical allyship. If you identify as a liberal, "woke" person, do you agree? Why or why not?
      • If you said you do agree, what are you going to do to change this? If you said you don't agree, why not? Name specific examples of how your words have led to actions. 
    • Johnson writes, "The right acknowledgment of black justice, humanity, freedom and happiness won’t be found in your book clubs, protest signs, chalk talks or organizational statements." Do you agree or disagree? Why?
    • How do you feel after reading this article? Called to action? Angry? Sad? Apathetic? Why are you feeling this way? Discuss.
