Books and Music (part of FailSafe Festival 2017)
Synopsis:
Audience-Interactive Physical Theater about the difference between passion and intimacy, and the wild heart, mind, and body journey to attaining and sharing both. The main character learns passion but not intimacy from her family, then goes out on her life-path learning intimacy, with diversely odd and just-like-everybody-else ups and downs, crashes and celebrations. She ultimately brings intimacy home.
A funny work about a serious thing, this show aims to also evoke desire for family connection, deeper authenticity, more outrageous expression, and immense self-love in the audience, as they, too, unite in love and creativity.
Artist Information:
Art is love. Love is Art. Barbara Ann Michaels, Jester of the Peace, makes a career of the interplay of love, art, and comedy. She creates audience-participatory environments and performances, usually funny takes on serious things, which can inspire connection transformation. Recent projects include #IVote4U, voting for people to be President of anything, which toured the US in 2017 funded in part by Participatory Safety, Inc; AND NOW: WOMAN, a living room salon series for women, also on tour in 2017; the Love Letter Lounge annual writing event; and work themed for life milestones, like marrying your self, and current events, like the Olympics. Ms. Michaels has been presented at The Miami Project, Barcelona's NauART, Glasshouse ArtLifeLab, The New York Clown Theatre Festival, San Francisco Fringe Festival, Unarthodox, Museum of Fine Arts Boston Art in Bloom, Boston Museum of Science, and many festivals.
