Current Projects
Oral Storytelling Project
The Oral Storytelling Project began in the Summer of 2022 with workshops and oral storytelling interviews. The work in progress is a Collective of CHamoru stories by Curtis J. Jewell, Eddie Acfalle Jr., Jayna Lizama, Joni Aguon, & Mia Alvarez, with the facilitation, direction, and editing of Jayna Shoda Meyer and Joyce Torres.
As a part of our development process, we are doing a Zoom Staged Reading to get feedback, in hopes of refining the script so it is ready for future productions.
Please note that after the reading, we will open up the Zoom room for facilitated feedback from the audience. You are welcome to stay and share your thoughts, or you can also share your thoughts via a survey that will be sent out after the reading.
The reading will be collection of select pieces born as a result of this 8 month long creation process. It is a rough draft, a living script, and it will continue to grow and evolve. We ask that audience members keep this in mind, but also keep the content of scripts in confidence after the reading it done.
The reading is scheduled for Saturday, April 1, at 11 AM - 1 PM ChST. (This will be Friday, March 31 at 6 PM PDT, 8 PM CDT, and 9 PM EDT.)
