real things
an evening of deep play ritual and practice
Performance Works Northwest, Portland OR
November 7, 8, & 9th, 7pm
Join the PDX Deep Play Performance Troupe for an evening of deep play ritual & practice as we collectively explore the borderlands between order and chaos, art and therapy, sense and nonsense, performer and audience, buoyancy and heaviness, risk and safety. At its core, the piece weaves together a series of structured improvisational games and ceremonies designed to engage the mysteries of presence, transformation, and collective imagination. Our evening's practices will draw on psychodramatic techniques, surrealist language games, rule-based improvisational systems, processwork, butoh, conversation scores, and vocal experiments. Performances run approximately 60–90 minutes and feature varying levels of audience participation.
