#Repost @lbgrrrlcollective (@get_repost) ・・・ Join G.R.R.R.L. Collective on Wednesday, January 3rd, for our monthly feminist and queer open mic! This month, instead of having a featured artist, we'll be asking attendees to compose around a theme: how we use creative expression as a method of healing. Your response to "how we heal" may be a song, spoken word piece, short story, dance/movement performance (of about 5min or less, please), etc. Create however you create, but consider using this as a prompt! . Questions/ideas you might consider when composing your piece (or choosing something you've created in the past): -How do you use your creative expression -- poetry, music, dance, or other preferred art form -- as a tool to heal, to reset, to recalibrate yourself? -Do you use them as meditation? as mantra? as coping method? -Show us! Use your preferred art form to create something that helps you to transcend the noise, stress, pain, and injustice around you. . Of course, there are no wrong answers, and the list of questions above is not exhaustive (and only a guideline anyway). And there will still be space for performances unrelated to the prompt! . #grrrlcollective #queerlongbeach #queeropenmic #feministopenmic #healing #rainbowjuices
