August 22-24 Project X at Milepost 5

Hand2Mouth Theater is easily Portland's most innovative. They run inexpensively too. Project X:You Are Here involves you telling stories which are recorded and listening to stories left by others. They are doing it around Milepost 5 this weekend. The project will also be in Seattle for Bumpershoot - it's designed for travel. Everything needed, except the theater group's facilitating actors, fits in a shipping container! It has some similarity to Swiss group EToy's Mission Eternity, though less techy. It could be something like The Electronic Cafe by Kit Galloway and Sherrie Rabinowitz. I never saw that project, however I do not think it has been equaled. The project would definitely fall into the open-source aesthetic realm, it's participatory and touches social practice art. So be (in) it. All this takes place at Milepost 5 www.milepostfive.com Friday 7PM-10; Saturday 2PM-5, 7PM-10; Sunday 2PM-5. $6/2 for $10
