Trying to Remain Upright
an evening of performance in two-acts

Berlin/Birmingham
Conceived and directed by Meghan Finn.
Featuring Elan O'Connor and Jesse Soursourian.

A piece about the effects of fear on the voice, Berlin/Birmingham examines the pure oratory power that overcame such fears, profoundly changing the history of the 20th century.

Trying to Remain Upright
Choreographed by Laura Diffenderfer
In collaboration with Rhiannon Fink, Glenn Kessler, and J. G. Pagan

Inspired by program note written in 1968 by choreographer Yvonne Rainer, Trying to Remain Upright is a dance-theater piece that examines the effects of a single act of war on the body of a witness.

 

Mourning Emily

An interview based piece about the loss of Emily Eagen, Mourning Emily explores the unrest left in the wake of the media frenzy following her murder in Costa Rica during the spring of 2000.
 
The play was first performed in Ann Arbor, Michigan, Emily’s home town. Mourning Emily received an incredibly powerful audience response citing how the show helped them to cope not only with the events of the play, but also with other unresolved issues. The longest lunch then partnered with NYC non-for-profit Artistic Evoluciòn, Inc. and took the performance to the Winnipeg Fringe Theatre Festival, in Canada, to find that the themes achieve international universality.
