Story Bridge - "These Stories Are Ours"

They came out singing.

"These stories are not just mine. These stories are ours"

Story Bridge never fails to tug at my heart.
Eight amazing individuals came together to tell stories that changed their life, from leaving a long and love-filled marriage to being flooded out of a home, discovering what true friendship is like, to receiving a phone call that no one ever wants to receive.
They came courageously, they came tenderly, they came playfully, and they brought their stories to life in a way that literally left audience members in tears.

Thank you.

To Creative Communities Tasman for supporting this event.

To the actors, who shared their humanity.

To the audience, without you the stories would just be echoes.

To the people in all of our lives that fill our lives with stories.

Stories remind us what we already know.
That we fall in love with each other through our stories.

Theater of Liberation in Motueka - in Pictures

Such a powerful crew was gathered!  Powerful in how each of you separately, walk in this world and the gifts you carry and share, and powerful in the way we have begun to weave them together.

But how to capture a mood in photos?
I wish the small comments, the insights, the gestures could be met with lighting and photography skills worthy of their import.
In the meantime, I'll snap shots on my camera, just to give you all a glimpse, a reminder, of some of the touching moments we had together.

Thank you for coming together with us.

Enjoy these moments.
Stay in touch.
