What are you afraid to say out loud? What words get stuck behind your teeth or in a lump in your throat? When do you notice yourself withdraw? When are you not being vulnerable, or when do you feel like you can’t be vulnerable? How are you, really?

“What I’m trying to tell you” explores the difficulty of emotional vulnerability in online spaces. Throughout the piece, performers play with inner & outer expressions, overlapping and interrupting each other. Gradually, the performers begin to speak, giving voice to what we are afraid to say out loud.

Throughout the piece, audience members are invited to submit their responses to the question, What are you afraid to say out loud? Responses can be submitted to the performers directly (not viewed by the rest of the audience), and performers will read those responses as part of the music.

Join me & the Playground Ensemble for this Remote Lab experience Friday, February 26th! Livestream will be posted here.
