SUMMARY:StoryWorks Theater Presents Teaching the Constitution Through Theater: Beautiful Agitators Virtual Play and Curriculum
DESCRIPTION:Beautiful Agitators\, a theatrical play about Vera Mae Pigee\, a hair stylist and business owner in Clarksdale\, Mississippi\, and one of the unsung heroes of the civil rights era. Using her beauty parlor as a hub for Delta-based organizing and resistance\, Pigee operated her salon by day and then transformed it into a clandestine center for civil rights organization and education in the evenings. Known for her big hats and larger than life personality\, Mrs. Pigee led the direct action that registered nearly 6\,000 African Americans to vote in the region. Although Pigee was largely left out of the history books\, along with many women of the movement\, our play Beautiful Agitators and accompanying curriculum revives her legacy\, highlighting her methods and tactics. \nJoin StoryWorks Theater’s Jenna Welch\, Aallyah Wright and Rebecca Welch Weigel for a brief introduction of Beautiful Agitators\, a virtual play and corresponding curriculum.

SUMMARY:Perception versus Being Together
DESCRIPTION:In unveiling the intricate workings of perception\, exposing its role in crafting optical illusions and distorting our grasp of visual reality\, we uncover a startling revelation: this very mechanism extends its reach into the fabric of our interpersonal interactions. Immersed in a battleground of perceptions\, we find ourselves entrenched in divisive narratives\, trapped within the confines of “Us-Against-Them” mentalities dictated by narratives that grip us relentlessly\, rendering us blind to alternatives. To transcend this perceptual stranglehold and cultivate a new mode of communal existence\, we embark on a journey of physical engagement and shared activities\, from the humble handshake to more elaborate exercises\, forging connections beyond the constraints of perception’s sway.

SUMMARY:Perception versus Being Together
DESCRIPTION:After a video demonstrating the mechanism of perception which produces optical illusions and prevents accurate assessment of visual information\, we notice that the same mechanism seems to be at work in the ways we interact with each other. We are swamped in perception wars\, because the assumptions which keep us in our positions\, Us-Against-Them\, reside in narratives that own us\, that we can’t see out of. To experience a way of being together different from the one perception enables and enforces\, we engage with each other in physical exercises and activities\, some as simple as a handshake.
