In October The LIDA Project ambitiously devised a six-part interconnected epic on health, care, mortality, and dying in the United States. Six vastly different works were created in collaboration with six guest directors, twelve performers, and several community leaders to provide a broad and diverse theatrical experience. To aid in the development of a more intimate and communal experience the work was environmentally designed to be performed in private residences with limited seating for a small audience. In December 2011 we presented 18 performance in 18 different centrally located living rooms in the span of 9 days.
The LIDA Project would like to graciously thank you, our community, who helped to support and engage the work in its first run. This work would not have been successful without the engagement, trust and risk of our supporters, collaborators, and artists.
…and we are not done.
A continued life of the six-part meditation is underway by popular demand. This is a testament to our community’s willingness and desire to further engage in conversations that surround these issues. Through a second development stage and a second run we intend to further foster the open, honest environment for the audience to reflect on their own experiences and questions around heath and care. The improved well-being of individuals hinges not on political rhetoric but on a richer understanding that we are all bound together by the same fate.
In light of the unanticipated desire from our Denver community, we ask you for your financial support. In order for us to support another three-week extension we need to raise $1,800. We have launched a Kickstarter campaign to help us attain this goal. If each of us donate only $5, and in turn, ask our circle of friends and family to do the same, we, as a combined collective could easily accomplish this.
Any and all help is greatly needed and appreciated,
