Lake Street Story Circles Project brings a cohort of ten artists together to hold Story Circles and create new performance work about life, spirit, resistance, politics, vision, relationships, history, business, survival and joy. Grounded on Lake Street, grounded in Minneapolis, grounded in story, in place and each other.

Over the last few months, many people have responded to Sharon Day’s invitation to send their messages to future generations. From a place of deep love, the purest truth, and with hope, people created leaves with their messages to be part of the Tree of Peace, Tree of Life, Tree for the Future. People from all over Turtle Island contributed to this large scale sculpture.

We will raise the tree at the Minnesota State Capitol with the wish that our leaders enact policies that reflect our prayers that everyone be able to live a good life.

What does it mean to rebuild, redistribute and ultimately grow amid civil & societal unrest?

Something that you believe to be concrete is now being churned and resown. Concrete is laid to restrict overgrowth and make it easier for us to move, which ultimately creates a barrier between us and the land. But plants will always slip through the cracks despite a surface designed to oppress and repel them. Through voice, movement and color we will allow our bodies to cascade, take root and then rise again from the pavement, part of Pangea World Theater’s Another World Is Possible Series.

The performance will be live, raw, in the moment responses to the various forms of art being expressed. Poetry and song will inform the movement of the dancers, as they paint their bodies with pigment powders, which will inform the chalk drawings on the street.

We will take the necessary precautions to ensure this event is covid-conscious. Masks are required. This event will be outside.

Suzanne Victoria Cross is the resident stage manager and event coordinator at Pangea World Theater. 10 years ago, she wrote a 10-minute conversion between two characters, Miles and Linda. This play is an attempt to address the violent act of covert racism that is concealed in the fabric of our society. The acts of racism that leaves her breathless and paralyzed because she wasn’t expecting to feel subhuman at Cub Foods or waiting in line for a concert. She also knows that words aren't enough. This lives in the body. So, in an attempt to heal, the community is invited to go on an artistic exploration in how many different art forms can express what goes through the mind and body when our language and security are ripped away.

What will Segismundo do when he is released if all he’s ever known are prison walls? This witty and enchanting version is translated and adapted by Obie award winning Puerto-Rican playwright José Rivera.

This event was cut short due to COVID-19. Read a statement regarding the situation here.

Kat Purcell, artist-in-residency at Pangea World Theater, shares the results of their experimentation, emotional-vocal-excavation, and arts-intervention dramaturgy. The central themes manifest as a collection of questions: "If I am you, and you are me, then what does it mean when we are in conflict?" "How do we sing each other into resonance?" "How do we conceive perseverance for ourselves?"

​WHEN: Saturday, June 2, 5:00-7:00pm

WHERE: Pangea World Theater 

​

Land : Landed is a performative presentation that is concerned with two grand, historical narratives that impact contemporary art discourses. One is the importance of Indigenous ways of knowing, specifically the centrality of land and its connection to art making. The other is the unprecedented migration of humans around the globe, specifically people of colour who arrive in the territory now known as North America, who bring their art practices with them. What do these two narratives have to do with one other?

Featuring Primary Colours/Couleurs primaires artists France Trépanier & Chris Creighton-Kelly

​

Inspired by Luis Valdez’s legendary Teatro Campesino shows on flatbed trucks in the 70s that brought attention to the plight of migrant workers in California with performances in parks and union halls, award-winning performance artist José Torres-Tama & his ArteFuturo Ensemble roll out the Taco Truck Theater / Teatro Sin Fronteras crossing economic, geographic, and racial borders to challenge the anti-immigrant hysteria gripping the country.

Their radical theater on wheels is driven by a live music sound-bed that will stir your soul and a street theater vibe with pop-up food vendors selling tacos. Visually dynamic, profoundly moving, and continuously engaging their audiences, the diverse and bilingual ArteFuturo Ensemble offers a parallel between Latina/no immigrants dehumanized as "illegal aliens" and the historical struggles of African Americans with a national crisis of police shootings of unarmed black civilians. They proclaim that, "No human being is illegal!", and that "BLACK LIVES MATTER!" 

In addition, the Minneapolis Pangea World Theater production will engage the voices of local poets and performers to explore the attacks on all people of color by the current administration, and will include a Muslim Somali poet, a Native American performer, and two DREAMERS. Let's dare to remember that the United States of Amnesia was founded on the near genocide and extermination of Native People, and the first "illegal aliens" were the Europeans who transformed the land into property. Let's dare to remember that the empire was built on the enslavement of Africans, with their bodies transformed into property.

We are here to remember against a culture that pimps amnesia and fear, and our collective voices address a Eurocentric plantation paradigm that threatens to take America back to the 1950s--when people of color were systematically silenced and white nationalism was the ruling power at all levels of society. 

The ArteFuturo Ensemble includes New Orleans’ artists Spirit McIntyre, cellist, vocalist, and poet; Roberto “El Mex Andino” Carrillo, singer, panpipe player, and MAP Fund award-winning performance artist, poet, and cultural activist José Torres-Tama.

Taco Truck Theater will begin in the parking lot of Intermedia Arts. Blankets and camp chairs are welcome.

Engagement with youth is crucial to the continuation of radical arts programming, but artists often shy away from working with youth due to barriers they consider out of their control. Workshop participants will walk away with a deeper understanding of how to establish effective creative partnerships with youth across social and economic barriers. Through a combination of materials and philosophies, participants will be given tools for deep and effective engagement with youth artists and audiences.

Let's be real: Tax law is written, on the whole, to uphold the white patriarchy, and its benefits are overwhelmingly concentrated away from marginalized communities. Artists and other creative professionals, in particular, are underserved by this system. Until we can radically remake our economy, we've got to help each other navigate it. Taught through the lens of queer politics, this workshop aims to introduce creative queers (& LGBTQ+ allies) to: (1) Filing taxes as a creative professional, (2) Common tax write-offs specific to artists, (3) What records to keep, and easy ways to do it, and (4) Building alternative economies. Bottom-line: You deserve the money, let's figure out how to make sure you get it.

Inspired by the public and communal processing of “Don’t You Feel It Too?” Keila Anali Saucedo, of Pangea World Theater’s Arts Organizing Institute, invites you to dream into summer with journaling, skit creation, and dancing! As words like gentrification, urbanization, and ‘growth’ increase in our conversations about Lake Street, it is critical that we bring creativity to our community discussions. 

At the only green space on Lake Street, Plaza Centenario (located on 12th and Lake street) we invite you to journal on the prompts “What does Lake street want to be?” and “I feel like I belong on Lake street when…” We’ll then move into skit creations and conversation based on our journaling. Afterwards we invite you to join in on “Don’t You Feel It Too?”, a joyous opportunity to dance to your own music and feel what you feel!
