You're Going to Die: Poetry, Prose & Everything Goes - SAN FRANCISCO

You’re Going to Die: Poetry, Prose, & Everything Goes - A MUSIC & MORTALITY OPEN MIC @ The Lost Church - San Francisco!!!

TICKETS HERE: https://tinyurl.com/YG2DmaySF

You're Going to Die: Poetry, Prose & Everything Goes... is an open mic event on the theme MUSIC & MORTALITY, the communal offering for us to explore the music of death & dying, to embrace our losses & mortality, to grieve, bereave & honor what we’ve lost & love, in laughter & in tears… while all the while making room for the joy & gratitude at simply being ALIVE. What music connects to your losses? What songs have held you in your grief? What songs populate the soundtrack for your losses? What medicine have you found in music? Let's gather in creative community, to share with grief & gratitude, the music & stories that honor your grief & your dead. *Proceeds from this event will go to support YG2D's Songs for Life Music & Hospice Program: https://www.songsforlife.info/

Hosted by Ned Buskirk
Featuring music from TBD*
at
The Lost Church - San Francisco
988 Columbus Ave
San Francisco, CA 94133-2310
Doors at 7:30pm.
Show at 8pm.
All performances end at 10:30pm.
Seating is first come, first served.

And support MORE with ticket tiers. You choose the amount.
The tickets tiers are direct ways of offering more support to YG2D, a 501(c)3 Non-profit bringing diverse communities creatively into the conversation of death & dying, inspiring life by unabashedly sourcing our shared mortality. Thank you for any additional help you can offer.
And please email connect@yg2d.com if you need financial support to be a part of the evening.

We recommend you buy in advance to ensure being a part of the event (parlor shows often sell out), but you can also try purchasing at the door on the night of the show (although, we do NOT set aside a block of tickets for door purchase)

Ages 10 and over are welcome. (Parental discretion is advised for some events).

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Sign-ups will be the night of & the list fills up quickly, so if you want to perform, you’d better get there early…

If you’re going to perform, keep it under 5 MINUTES. That’s right: 5 MINUTES. WE WILL TIME YOU. And we will hug you when we have to stop you [just to make it easier on you (or harder – depending on your propensity for intimacy)].

Poetry, prose, music, dancing, comedy, drama, happy, sad, & on & on & on… Remember: EVERYTHING GOES… so do whatever you want.

You don’t have to perform anything; the audience is as essential as the performers.

Please don’t perform anything with a setup that takes much more time than the time it takes for you to walk onstage. Honestly, plugging things in is endlessly boring. If you need to borrow an instrument, figure it out before you’re called to the stage.

IMPORTANT ::: DON’T TAKE YOURSELF SO SERIOUSLY. Come and have fun. The end. Remember. Someday, we won’t exist and neither will the English language. If you choose to take yourself seriously, then take yourself so seriously that it’s stupid. Ridiculousness is encouraged.

You're Going to Die. No. Really. You are.

while we're still ALIVE on our precious pale blue dot.

Paired with our LA Climate Week show, we present a SPECIAL open mic event in SF, CENTERED ON THE TOPIC OF EARTH. Like usual, our open mic format serves as an opening to whatever you're carrying, whatever you long to be witnessed in. We invite you to attend, listen and share your stories and perspectives.

With large topics that affect so many people, it is common for folks to want to shrink from being the center of their own experience of a topic as big and weighty as THE ENTIRE PLANET, and focus on communal concern - concern for others, concern for future generations, etc. And while this collective concern & grief is SO REAL and very much welcome in this space, we're also inviting you to take up space ON STAGE expressing yourself about how the precarity of our planetary existence affects YOU. We're not trying to attain some kind of fairness equilibrium here! This applies to grief in general, but especially to global concerns: someone always has it worse, and someone always has it better! This show is for everyone. Whether you lost your house in a fire or your childhood home in a hurricane, or you are anxious about things that haven't happened yet, or you're inspired and hopeful and want to celebrate the good things, or you want some space to RAGE about the preventable devastation that is is not being prevented, etc, this show is for you. If you are alive right now, you have every right to take up space talking about your grief and fear, hope and anxiety, resilience and anger related to our planet's trajectory!

Just like mortality itself... no one is exempt! There is no one who doesn't belong in this conversation.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sign-ups will be the night of & the list fills up quickly, so if you want to perform, you’d better get there early…

If you’re going to perform, keep it under 5 MINUTES. That’s right: 5 MINUTES. We will time you!

You are invited to bring the full spectrum of your humanness, be it through poetry, prose, music, improvised storytelling,dancing, comedy, drama, happy, sad, & on & on & on… It's up to you! We don't have the answers!

You don’t have to perform anything; the audience is as essential as the performers.

Please don’t perform anything with a setup that takes much more time than the time it takes for you to walk onstage! There will be a piano and an acoustic guitar available on stage for you.

IMPORTANT ::: DON’T TAKE YOURSELF SO SERIOUSLY. Come and have fun. The end. Remember. Someday, we won’t exist and neither will the English language. If you choose to take yourself seriously, then take yourself so seriously that it’s stupid. Ridiculousness is encouraged.

Your Planet is going to die. No. Really. It is.

Sign-ups will be the night of & the list fills up quickly, so if you want to perform, you’d better get there early…

If you’re going to perform, keep it under 5 MINUTES. That’s right: 5 MINUTES. WE WILL TIME YOU. And we will hug you when we have to stop you [just to make it easier on you (or harder – depending on your propensity for intimacy)].

Poetry, prose, music, dancing, comedy, drama, happy, sad, & on & on & on… Remember: EVERYTHING GOES… so do whatever you want.

You don’t have to perform anything; the audience is as essential as the performers.

Please don’t perform anything with a setup that takes much more time than the time it takes for you to walk onstage. Honestly, plugging things in is endlessly boring. If you need to borrow an instrument, figure it out before you’re called to the stage.

IMPORTANT ::: DON’T TAKE YOURSELF SO SERIOUSLY. Come and have fun. The end. Remember. Someday, we won’t exist and neither will the English language. If you choose to take yourself seriously, then take yourself so seriously that it’s stupid. Ridiculousness is encouraged.

You're Going to Die. No. Really. You are.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

*M'Gilvry Allen's music comes from the place where joy and grief dance together. Using fiddle, guitar, and layers of harmony, he builds songs that feel both familiar and otherworldly - as if they've bubbled up from deep in the bones of the earth. His performances weave together traditional folk music, electronic elements, and an improvisational spirit that creates space for whatever needs to emerge. You can also find M'Gilvry in the indie folk band Maya Elise & The Good Dream, the diasporic music project Singing The Bones, and online everywhere as @mgilvryallen. - https://mgilvryallen.com/
