outreach inreach
Those in attendance online can expect a couple hours of refreshment and renewal. given their nature as inherently emotional and sesitive people, the past couple years have proven to be a source of depletion, isolation from fellow actors and their audience during quarantine, and a marked drop in productions during that time. the impact has been cumulative
The syndicate's launch event for 2023 is not for an audience; it's for the actors and other artists who perform for them.
every production, whether high budget or shoestring, goes to exraordinary lenghts to impact that audience. this event is not so much an it's not so much an "outreach" to the stage community so much as it is an opportunity to experience self regard by "reaching in". the social and political upheaval that finds americans now so often in a chronic mindset of fight, flight or freeze, and the profession that prides itself on having ready access to emotions can find itself exponentially more impacted. "Outreach/Inreach" will be a six-part event in which ridiculously simple group practices can be a springboard for ongoing healing throughout the year.
As an event celebrating community and unity, there will be no charge for any participant who is an actor or stage/film artist in any depaetment. Ours is a large tend. Especially when life feels like a three-ring circus. Or a runaway train.
