More Details:
Liturgy: a set of prompts created to encourage communal interaction with deep questions. Longing: that endless tug towards the I-dont-know.
Why do we long? For what? In Liturgy for Longing, Emily has created a deeply personal, radically honest performance that aims to foster connection and engage audiences in unique and meaningful ways. Each audience member begins by entering a hallway to find a note written for them. After reading, Emily guides them into the theatre space to complete simple tasks (such a setting up a place to sit) to make that space their own. In the invitations that follow, each person is encouraged to engage in ways that feel right to them: there is always a choice, including the choice to only observe. These communal elements are woven seamlessly into Emilys performance of her own story, which unfolds through movement, dance, sound, and music. The audience is an integral part of the experience, making each performance a unique, unrepeatable event.
