Ancram Opera House Presents: SUMMER PLAY LAB 2021

PERENNIALS
Showings: Thurs, June 17th & Fri, June 25th at 8pm

Collaborative Songwriting Workshop: Mon, June 21 at 7p

A performance in two parts, PERENNIALS utilizes original live music and spoken text composed and performed by the members of Emergence Collective (Kate Douglas, Matthew Dean Marsh, Raina Sokolov-Gonzalez, and Sylver Wallace). The first part is a short film shot entirely on iPhone during a residency at Ancram during COVID. The second part is a live performance that evolves from that short film. Emergence Collective shares stories of endurance in plants, microorganisms and our lived experience to gain a deeper understanding of what survival and healing mean for all beings right now as we begin to emerge from this year of pandemic. Emergence Collective invites the audience into our inner world; where conversations about community, music, & healing give way to joy, hope, and catharsis.
