Bella Luna Studios at the Wolf House proudly presents" Social Skills Practice: A Post-Pandemic Performance and (Awkward) Social Hour featuring Kim Bahmer-Rada, Paula Cisewski, Nicelle Davis Annie Enneking and Annette Schiebout.
It is late pandemic era, gifting us an opportunity to practice gathering together again.
This group of women met weekly on Zoom to nurture their creative lives since March of dreadful 2020. Each artists made the best of the pandemic, and the group helped each other be held accountable and support individual goals.
Come see what we made this year! Some of us wrote songs, poems, short stories, healing books; we worked with clay, started a podcast, worked on various book art projects. We would love to share our pandemic progress with you.
Weather permitting, this will be an outside show, however, we are also limiting the audience to nearly half if we need to move inside instead.
There will be an early performance at 6, and a second performance at 8.
Tickets price $10-20 sliding scale. Pay what you can.
