"Marta Lu Clifford began the June 1 performance of BlueJay's Canoe, which she co-wrote with director Theresa May, with a prayer asking that we open our hearts and listen, which struck me as a wise way to approach ordinary conversations as well as this poetic play that gracefully communicates a heartfelt message about stories, connection and resilience."
"It's a beautiful reminder that despite the challenges we face, stories can weave us together and foster understanding and healing within our communities."
Theater performances flourished as May transitioned into June, with artists engaging in various interconnected shows. Kathleen Worley's performance in 'The Curious Savage' and a poetic presentation of Charles Jennings marked an active weekend in Portland's theater scene. Also notable was the reading of 'BlueJay's Canoe' by illioo Native Theatre, co-written by Marta Lu Clifford and directed by Theresa May, which emphasized the healing power of stories within communities, particularly during challenging times like COVID-19. The works showcased a vibrant tapestry of creativity and resilience in the region's artistic community.
