Event
Future Break
In Future Break, Southern Word is commissioning new pieces from adult and youth writers for a performance series that manifests Nashville's culture, environment, and people 10 to 10,000 years from now. We will stage the collective work over six performances in May 2012 at the Frist Center for Visual Arts, Nashville Public Library, Dark Horse Theatre, and the Sigourney Cheek Literary Garden at Cheekwood. Performances will be a series of staged monologues, readings, essays, songs, and spoken word pieces directed by Mary McCallum, Shawn Whitsell, Kelly Falzone, and Valerie S Hart.
Future Break expands on the success of Nashville Now: Spoken Word Census. In 2010, 55 writers convened to create a breathing portrait of Nashville, a literary arts census. Over three nights, they represented Nashville voices through a collection of essays, songs, and poems. Response to the series was so positive that Southern Word and participating writers and directors are growing the event this May to paint the future of Nashville into existence through words and songs.
Future Break is sponsored through the generous support the Metro Nashville Arts Commission, Tennessee Arts Commission, Nashville Public Library, the Frist Center for the Visual Arts, Willy and Ann Stern, and Cheekwood Botanical Garden.
