THIS IS NOT A PERFORMANCE
NOVEMBER 9TH @ PURE Theatre
Charleston, SC
MEET RACHELSIMONE
RachelSimone Wyley is a poet-essayist-songwriter-vocalist. She understands art to be the solution to racial inequity, not simply its mirror and megaphone. She leverages dialogue, deliberate pauses, and a differentiated relationship with time to manufacture the spaciousness needed for authentic exchange.
By leveraging music as a facilitation tool, RachelSimone activates the qualities of creativity, empathy, and vulnerability in others - however latent - to connect individuals in spontaneous community and then, to guide them through a process of critical unlearning and radical re-education. She deliberately disrupts the power dynamic that exists between artist (the "entertainer") and audience (the "entertained") and requires all present to offer their own emotional collateral as a critical part of the creation process.
WHY THIS IS NOT A PERFORMANCE
This is not a performance - it’s preparation for societal reimagination. It doesn’t - it can’t - happen apart from community. This is an inherently co-creative process. And you - the audience - have a much more significant role in the journey than you have ever before.
LISTEN IN
The new, collective charge of artist and audience is to co-create a novel container in which to transform community into a catalyst for societal evolution.
Note: Any pauses that you hear are intentional.
