Virtual Theatre Today: Wednesday, June 24- Darren Criss, Jelani Alladin, Matt Doyle and More!

9:30 AM

Broadway Weekends at Home- DANCE IT OUT! | Meghan Lynch - We'll start our mornings off together to hopefully make some space within ourselves for the day ahead, even when feeling perhaps physically confined. It may be useful to bring a notebook to each session because it'll begin with three remembrances of gratitude from the day before (and perhaps some journaling after the class is over). We'll then meditate using a different modality each day for about 15-20 minutes. Then, we dance it out. Because, honestly, it's just important to let off a little steam, purge any unresolved feelings, and get ready for an uplifting and productive day. Let's get those endorphins flowing from the get. click here

HERE@Home- Sunken Cathedral (2015) - Bora Yoon - A musical and archetypal journey through the subconscious, Sunken Cathedral is a multimedia performance by Korean-American composer, sonic surrealist and TED fellow Bora Yoon, fusing voice, electronics, and instruments from various cultures and centuries with evocative video design. Set in a house where things are not what they seem, and whose architecture illuminates the various chambers of the mind, body, and spirit, each chapter of this work excavates blood memory, cultural identity, and the intersections where our greatest diamonds and demons are held. Directed by Glynis Rigsby, with projections by Adam Larsen, Korean dance and drumming artist Vong Pak, and the otherworldly kinetic sculptures by U-Ram Choe, Sunken Cathedral traces death, life, rebirth, and the cyclical and recombinant nature of our internal and external universe. click here
