Raw Stuff - Performance and Workshop ( 31-45 mins)
In 'In the Raw Stuff,' playwright W.A. Hamilton and actor Carol McLean embark on a poignant creative journey, delving into themes of aging, first loves, loss, and shared memories. For Hamilton, writing is a messy but vital process where initial ideas must be fearlessly pursued to uncover the essence of a compelling story. He acknowledges that while ideas are the starting point, the true labor lies in navigating through a labyrinth of possibilities, tracing breadcrumbs of inspiration to discover narratives that resonate deeply.
McLean, as the actor, breathes life into Hamilton's words, infusing them with personal interpretations and emotional nuance. Together, they explore the delicate interplay between creation and performance, blending Hamilton's reflective prose with McLean's embodied expressions on stage.
Their collaboration is not just about storytelling; it's a shared exploration of human experience and vulnerability. Through their work, they aim to provoke introspection and empathy, inviting audiences to connect with the universal truths woven into their narratives.
'In the Raw Stuff' celebrates the transformative power of art, where raw materials of memory and imagination coalesce into narratives that illuminate the complexities of life. It's a testament to the enduring relevance of storytelling, inviting us all to embrace our own narratives with honesty and courage.
