SUMMARY:True Story Theater
DESCRIPTION:True Story Theater is an improvisational physical ensemble honoring people’s lived experience\, including people who are especially vulnerable in these times. \nIn their MAGMA debut\, they will work with stories of neurodiversity and invisible disabilities. Laugh\, cry\, and gain insights as True Story’s actors and musicians empathetically embody whatever is shared. All are welcome! \nTix $15-25 sliding scale  BUY TICKETS \nTrue Story Theater is a nonprofit theater company that offers over 50-75 improvisational performances\, skills training\, and Active Bystander workshops a year for a wide array of clients in the greater Boston area and beyond. Our mission is to promote social healing through theatre by building empathy\, respect\, and understanding in the honoring of true life stories. \nIn addition to offering monthly public shows\, True Story’s work has served hospitals\, universities\, civic and community organizations\, human rights commissions\, religious communities\, the LGBTQIA+ community\, seniors\, teen leaders\, cancer survivors\, activists\, philanthropists\, business leaders and more. We also perform for private individuals — for birthdays\, weddings\, anniversaries\, and other important rites of passage and life events. \nTrue Story Theater performs and teaches a style of improvisational theater called Playback Theatre. Volunteers from the audience are invited and helped to share what’s important in their lives. Actors listen deeply then spontaneously transform the stories into theater\, portraying the heart of what they heard using dialogue\, movement\, music and song. From this simple interaction\, people laugh\, cry and experience surprising insights. \nOur events create a respectful atmosphere where every voice can be heard and any story told — however ordinary or extraordinary\, difficult or joyful. True Story Theater offers audiences fresh perspectives\, deeper connections\, and a renewed appreciation for our common humanity.

SUMMARY:When the People Could Fly: a Somovement Journey
DESCRIPTION:Facilitated by Hadley Mays \nTrance Dance\, experiential anatomy and somatic movement for an integrated\nbody-mind and soul journey \nThis experience situates itself within a perspective\, that there is no separation between the physical and the spiritual dimensions: the human experience is a spiritual experience\, and the human body is both the material of and gateway to infinite dimensions of spirit and cosmos. We can navigate these dimensions through ecstatic and kinetic states of consciousness. Come fly with me: flight as dance\, as soul venture\, spirit journey and kinetic trance. Dive into a place where your vast interiority opens into the deep space of manifold intelligence. \nThe Practice\nBegins with somatic movement to prepare our bodyminds for trance and the extended ranges of our somatic perceiving. Then we Trance Dance\, a blindfolded ritual dance process using breath\, movement\, and rhythm. Trance Dance is a co-creative call to action with the sacred spirit world; our intention sets a course\, our soul unfolds. \nCost: $25-40 sliding scale\, no one turned away for lack of funds – \nRESERVE NOW \nThe Facilitator \n\nHadley Mays is a certified practitioner of the Trance Dance ritual\, created by Wilbert Alix and Frank Natale from collected shamanic traditions and practices spanning over 40\,000 years. She has lived\, worked\, trained\, healed and played in altered states\, trance and the visionary realms throughout my life in many different countries\, cultures\, and contexts. \nBrief Bio\nHadley Mays is an interdisciplinary theater & movement artist\, teacher of contemporary performance\, and workshop facilitator\, and I am currently on faculty at Boston Conservatory. She holds an MFA in Theater and Contemporary Performance\, graduate studies in Psychology and Counseling\, and many years of experience and independent research in culture\, ritual\, and performance studies. \nOther details: Please wear comfortable clothing you can move in and something that you can use as a blindfold. Parking in Gloucester is free after 6pm\, and there is a municipal lot catty cornered from MAGMA.
