HEAL
OUR SOULS
Open
Mic & Dance Party
Jan
21st!
The
Heal Our Souls Dance Party
is an intentional safe
space of solidarity for
people of color and those
at the margins of society.
It is spaces like
Bindlestiff Studio that
spark a fire of love and
nurture a spirit of
resistance.
Music
and dance have brought
generations of our
communities together, from
the drumbeats of our
ancestors to the
interwoven melodies of our
friends, we mourn and
celebrate life with our
bodies, our drums and our
heartbeats. Music and
dance bind us together in
ceremony and celebration;
in prayer and ritual; in
memory and spirit. As
artists, we are
revitalizing our
expressions in service of
social justice, and we are
calling on others who are
building movements and are
struggling in movements to
be IN movement with us. As
the late revolutionary
Grace Lee Boggs reminds
us, now is the time to
“grow our souls”. We
invite you to this space
to help us, heal our
souls.
Open
Mic (8pm-9pm) - Music,
Dance, Spoken Word,

AROUND THE BARANGAY
Be a Light!
GHOSTLIGHT PROJECT
SF
Jan 19th, @ A.C.T.
Theater
Bindlestiff Studio is proud to stand in solidarity with the Bay Area Theatre Community on January 19th in a moment of gathering within a larger
resistance to intolerance at all levels.
On
the eve of the Presidential Inauguration, members of the theater community across the country are gathering together to join in a collective, simultaneous action,
together creating “light” for challenging times ahead. In the Bay Area, we will gather outside of San Francisco's A.C.T.'s Geary Theater and Berkeley Repertory
Theater, as well as in individual theaters to make a pledge. Inspired by the tradition of leaving a "ghost light" on in a darkened theater, artists and
communities will make or renew a pledge to stand for and protect the values of inclusion, participation, and compassion for everyone--regardless of race, class, religion,
country of origin, immigration status, (dis)ability, gender identity, or sexual orientation.
We
aim to create brave spaces that will serve as lights in the coming years. We aim to activate a network of people across the country working to support vulnerable
communities. This is not a substitution for protests or direct action, but rather a pledge for continued vigilance and increased advocacy.
We
define "a brave space" as a space where:
- It is safe to be who you are, regardless of race, class, religion, country
of origin, immigration status, (dis)ability, gender identity, or sexual orientation.
- Diverse opinions, dissent, and argument are not only tolerated, but
invited.
- Active listening and courageous exchange are fundamental
values.
- Collective action, activism, and community engagement, both within and
outside the walls of the theater, are cultivated, encouraged, and supported.
