"This show unites four extraordinary theatres, combining music, laughter, dance and memories that explore the relationships between home, language, migration, race, economy and sociopolitics..." - The Upcoming |
Babylon: Beyond Borders brought together four theaters from around the world. From Sao Paulo (Brazil), New York City (USA), London (UK), and Johannesburg (South Africa), four companies of actors, directors, writers and technicians used live stream technology and the biblical story of Babylon to craft an original, devised piece of theatre that told stories of language, identity, tragedy, and the shifting nature of home. There was joy, laughter, heartbreak, anger, singing, dancing, and at one point a stage full of Bollywood-dancing Theresa Mays. Aubrey made her off-West End debut as a part of the chorus of this ground-breaking project.

The Ivy Tech Storytelling Series
The Ivy Tech Storytelling Series completed its first year in May of 2018. ITSS is true stories told live by Bloomington community members. There were four installments to the ITSS season, each installment focusing on a theme - a social issue of importance to the Bloomington community - and giving a well-rounded, unbiased look into that theme through the experiences of local people, all laid out on stage for the live audience in an original story. Aubrey Seader was the co-producer and director of all four installments of the series, with Paul Daily (Artistic Director of the Ivy Tech John Waldron Arts Center) co-producing. The season would not have been possible without the hard work of Bloomington theater community favorites like Tabitha Burton, Joel Watson, Brennen Edwards, Ken Farrell, Kate Braun, Jonathon Golembecki, and many more. Local community members like Shalom Community Center Executive Director Forrest Gilmore, poet Willy Palomo, Plus Size Magic/Fatness Fiction creator Ellise A. Smith, and grande dame of Bloomington Charlotte Zietlow told their own stories, along with many others. Click here for more on the Ivy Tech Storytelling Series.
