I Can See The Sky

"At the end of my suffering/there was a door."

—from The Wild Iris by Louise Glück

I Can See The Sky is a multimedia honoring of presence. Underneath my presence there are odes to so many things including but not limited to god, tears, black holes, grandmas, Tammy—my mom's manicurist, and the ghosts of unimaginable loss. I've cried a lot this year. This is my heart, in real time.

Show description subject to change.

Show length TBD, but definitely no more than one hour.

Masks REQUIRED, and will be provided (bring your own if you can!)

I Can See The Sky

by A.P. Looze

directed by Ellen Marie Hinchcliffe

presence teachings from Masa Kawahara

produced by All of the Above

All of the Above creates trans-disciplinary arts experiences that allow alternative worlds of belonging to emerge. AotA centers humility and learning, devotion to craft, and relationship to the infinite to call forth a more loving world. AotA strives to make work that disentangles us from dominant culture in service of shared liberation and creation/imagination.

A.P. Looze is a transgender multi-disciplinary artist, combining storytelling, music, animation and other disciplines in their work. Their works have been staged through 20% Theatre, The Guthrie, The Walker, Pleasure Rebel, Queertopia, Weird Stuff Only, Patrick’s Cabaret, Red Eye Theater, among others. They are the recipient of the 2023-2025 Jerome Hill Artist Fellowship in Combined Artistic Fields, a 2019 Art[ist] on the Verge Fellow through Northern Lights, a 2018 Naked Stages Fellow through Pillsbury House + Theater, and a 2016 Q-Stage Fellow through 20% Theatre. Along with performance, A.P. is a musician, filmmaker, textile artist, and photographer.

This activity is made possible by the voters of Minnesota through a grant from the Metropolitan Regional Arts Council, thanks to a legislative appropriation from the arts and cultural heritage fund.
