into (preposition): expressing movement or action with the result that someone or something becomes enclosed or surrounded by something else

An invitation into your own belonging: belonging to self, belonging in relationships, belonging to creativity. IN//TO (in)to is a durational performance, an interactive ritual, and a place to come and rest. We cannot dream up another world in isolation. We grow in connection. We must dream alongside each other. Let love crack us open.


Join me for my thesis performance at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago April 6th. The event is free and open to the public. All guests must show a state-issued ID upon entry.

Sacred Self: Power of Celebration
Apr

10:00 AM10:00

Sacred Self: Power of Celebration

**PROOF OF VACCINATION REQUIRED**

Event description:

What did the church teach you was shameful that now you long to reclaim as lovely? What does it mean to celebrate ourselves in our full authenticity? There is power in being ourselves and knowing our identities. Our stories are our own to try out, define, and reshape as we please.

Join Emily Bartlett P-RDT, TTT (she/her) and Madison Mae Parker (she/her) on April 2, 2022 from 10 am- 4pm in Kansas City as we celebrate ourselves and detangle our identity from the places that try to shame us into changing. This will be a day of centering within ourselves and connecting with others through the arts, therapy, and creative work. No prior arts or creative experience required.

Space is limited. Cost is $80 with lunch and supplies included. Scholarships available- email b.hivetheatre@gmail.com inquire.

The Sacred Self: Origin Story

CLICK HERE TO REGISTER

**PROOF OF VACCINATION REQUIRED**

Every hero has an origin story: the explanation of childhood events and culture, and how that made them who they are. A mash-up of family, religion, community, expression. But what is the origin story of our own beginning? How do we separate what doesn’t serve us and merge with what’s possible?

What are the things that we need to acknowledge from our own religious and familial upbringing that harmed us? Are there things that we have assumed are part of our character, but really they were part of a cultural system of trauma? What do we do when we realize we don’t align with those practices/beliefs/family members anymore? What can we do with those toxic beliefs and can we maybe replace them in our lives?

Join Emily Bartlett P-RDT, TTT (she/her) and Madison Mae Parker (she/her) on February 26th from 10 am- 4pm in Kansas City to explore your origin story and how it is informed by your family, and your family’s religious practices. We will begin the process of detangling the parts of ourselves from the parts that were formed through church trauma and toxic beliefs.

Space is limited. Cost is $75 with lunch and supplies included. Scholarships available- email b.hivetheatre@gmail.com inquire.
