Devised Theatre with Creative Action and SAFE Alliance
Interested in theatre, playwriting, or dating violence prevention? Join students from the Changing Lives Youth Theatre Ensemble for an interactive workshop inspired by their original play: A Safe Place to Fall Apart. Members will perform an excerpt of the play and lead audience members through a series of fun, accessible drama games and exercises. At the end, participants will get the opportunity to perform a brand-new monologue or scene. Come learn how we use theatre to inspire dialogue about healthy relationships and violence prevention! CLYTE is a program of Creative Action and Expect Respect (a program of The SAFE Alliance).

“With Candid Indifference and Finality of Tone” Exhibit Closing and Artist Talk
“With Candid Indifference and Finality of Tone” intermingles the Texan infrastructure with the body to explore American healthcare brokenness. Larkin draws parallels to collective loss and healthcare disproportionality through personal experiences with grief and chronic illness. The imagery invokes sensations of spatial occlusions, construction sites, industrial catastrophes, and unreliable memories. Our bodies, cut off from access when sick, are like the particularities of our environments, where one works in less than ideal conditions - under invisible powers. Larkin asks: what happens when an insurance entity can, with candid indifference and finality of tone, dictate the path and extent of your life?
Facilitated by the artist Zack Larkin and UpFront Gallery
