What excites you about VELVET SWING?

8/26/2017

 
The Velvet Swing Workshop Presentation is just around the corner (Monday and Tuesday!), and we asked the ensemble what most excites them about the work:

This story intrigues me because there has been so much said about this woman, but it still feels like she needed the chance to own​ her story.

​- Mickaylee Shaughnessy

So many historical women have had their stories sugar-coated. It's an honor to excavate the story of Evelyn Nesbit, and illuminate the nuances of her life and her journey. Her story deserves to be told truthfully, not just prettily. Her truth is familiar and foreign to me, and connecting to a woman form the past brings me comfort and deeper understanding.

- Leslie Vincent

I'm excited by this ensemble and team in Velvet Swing. So many ideas and so much talent in the room. It's challenging; it's fun; it's sweaty; it's goofy; it's emotional. It's woman-driven, woman-focused. It's an experiment.

​- Jessie Scarborough-Ghent

Because this is a devised piece, the script has become a part of all of us and our experience... which makes this production very special to me.

​- Antonia Perez

What excites me is that we get to be part of the process of reclaiming the story; a story that is - in some form or another - a part of every woman's story.

​- Nayely Becerra
