Can a group of people who barely know each other create a meaningful, honest piece of art in just two days? The WE/ME Project set out to prove that they can.
The intensive brought together a large group of participants to explore performative practices — body, voice, rhythm, attention, presence, and the ways stage action is born. The first day was a space for experiment, risk, and discovery: about art, about each other, and about what becomes possible when people genuinely engage.
By the second day, six participants took everything they had explored and channelled it into a shared performance on the theme of togetherness. Each brought their own story, message, and personal experience — yet all of it wove into a single, cohesive work in which participants supported, complemented, and amplified one another. That performance was built in just a few hours, using only the tools developed together during the intensive.
In the evening, the piece was presented to an audience — live, honest, and deeply human. Themes of support, connection, acceptance, and closeness ran through it all. But perhaps the most remarkable thing was that togetherness didn’t stay inside the performance. It emerged between the people themselves. Participants who might not have known each other two days earlier left as a real team — one that had learned to listen, trust, and hold each other up.
The WE/ME Project was made possible with the support of CivicArt, and stands as a reminder of what art can do: bring people together, open space for dialogue, and give a voice to things that matter — through a living, shared creative process.
