Terrie Silverman’s Life Stories Performance party
SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 16TH, AT 7:30 PM
Celebrating the giving and receiving of stories, featuring storytelling, solo performance, prizes, audience participation and a matzo brie breakfast.
Following
the Los Angeles World Storytelling Festival, local literary treasure Beyond
Baroque presents Artist-in-Residence Terrie Silverman showcasing a retrospective
of brave, moving and often hilarious stories from the past four years of her
Life Stories Performance Workshop. Stories include growing up in Nazi Germany,
unaware of being Jewish; fear of having sex, convinced the 'private part'was
broken after running into a post at eleven; and discovering being pregnant
is horrible and hysterical.
In addition, the audience will be led through a creative writing exercise involving a fortune cookie, with a select few chosen to present their stories on-stage. Party prizes include a Life Stories Workshop session, a writing consultation, clothes from the evening's performers and the grand prize-- a Matzo Brie breakfast with the Artist-in-Residence and her mother.
ABOUT THE ARTIST-IN-RESIDENCE
Performance Artist and poet, Terrie Silverman, MFA, began teaching the Life
