FIELD TRIP: Assembly is a matinee theatre experiment that draws on the spectacle and script of Theatre of the Oppressed (Augusto Boal), reality TV, and other folk games through the guidance of our Jokers; creating several worlds of possibility to figure ourselves out of our everyday oppressions. Adopting the mad, the queer, the disobedient, and the fugitive behaviors of East Colfax and the Aurora Cultural Artist District into the independent venue of Manos Sagrados, Assembly invites liberation through play; transforms passive consumption of performance into embodied channels for activations of our agency and disobedient desire.

Assembly will be in session February 8th and March 2nd 2-4pm, and one more date to be determined at Manos Sagrados, tickets are donation based, but must be reserved and are available here.

FIELD TRIP is a centering of the Mad, Queer, Disobedient, and Fugitives of Denver’s iconic artery: Colfax Avenue. Serving as a living archive of East Colfax, FIELD TRIP gathers together a glittering body of transdisciplinary artists to create a constantly evolving experience where audience members become entrenched in the world of the Mad and Colfax as a site of the voices discarded by domesticated culture to roar. FIELD TRIP exists as and highlights the connective tissue of East Colfax and how all of Denver’s lives are intertwined and implicated within it.

Field Trip is made up of three phases: Assembly, Recess, and Field Trip! The Assemblies test and pilot so that the Recesses can play and experiment so Field Trip! can have a tool box for moving together and alone.
