AMANDA REICHERT: IT'S HARD TO STAY MAD WHEN THERE'S SO MUCH BEAUTY

COOP Gallery / 507 Hagan St. June 3, 2023 - June 24, 2023

Amanda Reichert

COOP Gallery will premiere It's hard to stay mad when there's so much beauty, developed by Amanda Reichert in collaboration with McKay House, Joi Ware, & Alex Winer. This piece examines the complexity of our emotional states through the dispositions of four characters living together but separate in their own vivid worlds. Inspired loosely by the work of Brené Brown’s Atlas of the Heart, the characters explore themes of isolation, connection, care, and how the stories we tell ourselves impact our ability to perceive what is real. Performances will be held Saturday, June 3rd @ 7pm and Sunday, June 4th @ 2pm.

It's hard to stay mad when there's so much beauty was made possible with support from Metro Arts THRIVE, Metro Parks Dance Division, Animata Arts, COOP, and DancEast.
