An Invitation…
An Invitation... is an alive and evolving work.
An Invitation... is about connection, conversation, spontaneity and uncertainty. It’s also playful, joyous, imaginative, powerful and human.
An Invitation… is about us.
We are creating this performance now.
We play the performer.
We play the audience.
We are the show.
Performances at 6pm & 8pm
