Sunday, October 3rd at 2 pm Sunday, October 3rd at 6:30 pm Monday, October 4th at 6:30 pm Tuesday, October 5th at 6:30 pm Children will get older.
Parenting them will be complicated. The climate around here will change. Some people will suffer. A just world is possible, today, and tomorrow. These things are true all at once. Your optimism is not required. Team Sunshine Performance Corporation presents an early look into its latest piece: a father-daughter duet, their annual camping trip, a moment around a campfire suspended in time, a consideration of parenting and being parented in the face of planetary crisis, an invitation to share s’mores. Inspired by the work of Joanna Macy, Robin Wall-Kimmerer, Adrienne Maree Brown, and many others. Join us for a limited initial run of Workshop-Performances*, developed during a pandemic and presented outdoors, coming in September to Bartram’s Garden. *new material may be tried out for the first time, or content may change from show to show. Approximately 75 minutes. This is an outdoor event: Seating in chairs will be provided. Insect repellent is recommended. Please check website for up-to-date covid protocols. Reservations are free (donations are encouraged) |
Created by: Alex Torra, Rachel Camp, Jackie Soro, Benjamin Camp, and Makoto Hirano.

JOIN THE OPTIMISM READING GROUP
If you'd like to continue to engage with Team Sunshine and our community around the questions we're asking in Your Optimism is Not Required, we invite you to join us for an informal book group in the coming season! Join us for a deeper exploration of some of the inspiration and themes in the piece. Together we'll be reading four of the books that went into the creation of the show, both fiction and non-fiction, and meeting up by zoom every other month to discuss. Here's our schedule:
Nov. 9: Emergent Strategy by adrienne maree brown (how do we begin to shape the future we want to live in)
January 11: Braiding Sweetgrass by Robin Wall Kimmerer (deepening our relationship with our living world)
March 8: Ministry for the Future by Kim Stanley Robinson (missives from the future that is almost upon us)
May 10: How We Win by George Lakey (practical and inspiring playbook for direct action)
For a $100 donation to Team Sunshine, we'll provide paperback copies of all four books, as well as access to each discussion. If you'd like to participate, but would prefer to source your books directly, a $40 donation will cover organizing costs.
Team Sunshine artists will participate in each discussion, with additional facilitators and guests to be announced!
