TBA - Suicide kings
by joon
Well, wow, I have not written here since may! Wow, it seems long but it is not that long actually!
Well anyway,
since then, I have gone back to France, changed job and got happier ! How crazy!
I spent my whole month of August, organizing my back to school-work-project.
Four years ago, I came to Portland for the first time in my life, helping Adam moving here. I looked around for some theatre/performance/anything related to live performance
And I found TBA ! I went to a couple of shows and one dance workshop which was amazing.
Then, I moved here a year later!
I was looking forward to follow TBA. Weirdly enough, I have no memories of going to any of their shows for the first two years and I remember looking at the program last year and being like, eh, nothing seemed interesting to me. I don't know if that was a result of being broke at that time so I was not able to afford anything extra at this point.
WE just came back from Europe and we had hardly enough for rent, food and trimet.
This year, I do not have a job that will bring me a lot of money, but we will be fine, but what makes a difference is I have some time ! And as I was looking for their catalalogue I found "volunteer for TBA"
So I went for their information/sign up meeting and I got to sign up for hours.
With enough hours you get a pass/ 8 shows and other stuffs!
I volunteered so far for :
- Box office
- Chat
- Volunteers lead
- Larry Krone (The lab-craft)
I will volunteer for 4 more shows and help later on!
This is great!
I met new people
I learn new things
I get to be back into the world of professional art-live performance
The first show I have seen is by the suicide kings.
And this is one of the most powerful show I have seen for a long time!
Really really good
Three guys, one musician (cello) and a very few props!
Just them and their words - poetry - story - emotions!
It feels good to go to the theatre.
I missed it so much, I did not even know. I got to feel what I always feel everytime the audience lights turn off and the stage one turns on... I feel moved, I have buterfflies, I get thirsty for stories, my eyes are wide open to look at, listen to, a human being here in front of me telling his stories, I (almost) have tears...
