 Maybe. So when I was working at the Highlander Research and Education Center, I was in charge of youth programs. And one of the participants was the Power Youth Center for Social Change. And they used this song when people were coming into their neighborhoods to foreclose their homes. And so they band together and sang this song in the face of the people coming to take their homes from them. So whenever you sing this song, and I hope you do, I hope you also share that this song came from Miami, particularly with Power Youth Center for Social Change. So just share the story as well as the song. Poetry. Pass the microphone off to our amazing youth poet. You saw last night where then we applied through the net continuation grant. So this project that we're doing now is an after-school program that we've had, proud liberation lyrics, and we're doing it in conjunction with Borderlands Theater. And so we're working at Pueblo High School. And we use poetry as a way to talk about inequities in the community and to whenever we can carve out space, so you can hear a youth voice. So we have three of our high school poets today, and they're really nervous. So if we can give a round of applause. In our city, I hope you enjoyed yourselves. And I just want to say that Poetry's preparation is a real thing, and I hope that you continue to look at the ways in which it manifests and has devastating impacts on our community. And I'm going to ask the poets their practicing, so they're going to introduce themselves before they go into their homes. This home is made just because of this. So thank you. I come from my mother asking me how my day at school went while hearing the sizzling food she's making. As I walk through that faded door, I smile from cheek to cheek as I acknowledge that I am here. I come from my brother teaching me how to write a bike, how happy I would get as my favorite person pushes me to do better. I come from wondering when this pretty picture I have built will fall apart as my parents begin to yell this whole time, which I fly higher and higher. But the higher I go, the bigger the drop back to the floor gets. This violence I thought was raw for my parents, but really it was me who poisoned my brain with those crazy memories that only I could let go of those thoughts. But that's not me. I'm this individual who will never let go of those memories that ruined the happy day in that household. I come from a roller coaster household where it's a bipolar week and I don't know how the next day might go, but I will hope for the perfect day. I will hope for one day other than the week or a month and never a year. Today is that day I will, today will be remembered. I scream that at the top of my lungs every morning, bacon eggs and pancakes, mom, dad and two brothers, Aaron playing his music, whatever will make him dance during breakfast, favorite black skirt and a red shirt, clouds and some wind, Ruben ate and came outside ready to go. New truck riding to school. He's waiting at the front. Ruben will smile and wave goodbye. I come from Tamales starting in November, lasting until March. I come from, you have to pray at night, but growing out of the habit. I come from no one going to church, so is it real? I come from unas tortas con frijoles. I come from chips con salsa before dinner. Yo vengo de una familia que no habrá más idioma que el español. De una familia que se ayuda entre sí. Yo vengo de una familia que nunca te deja caer. I come from a fake smile. I come from your week if you have feelings. But as I begin to walk to school, I think of the perfect day where it will not be a fake smile anymore. I dream of the day that I will be able to be me, as well as everyone else, where we will fit in, where we are open arms to anyone. I will be lightened by everyone I see as a beautiful smile. It will be printed on the image of their face. I dream of the day that police will ask the why, not just the what, where no president will make a law inflicting any sort of pain on the people who live here. I dream of the day that I will start singing for no reason like a Disney movie. The day that everyone will actually be seen back. I'm dreaming of the day that no one will feel the need or luxury to her or even feel someone. No one will be sentencing correctly. Free tacos will be handed out in every corner store. Dead faces will come upon anyone when you speak the truth. I'm dreaming of the day that we could be happy around one another. I come from hope and an imagination that will never stop. Imagination that will make where I come from much better. I'm dreaming of the day that you could come from there too. That's my ancestors. But they got it all wrong. I'm furious. I'm furious because they are thriving and a system built against me with a nerve to ask me why I am not thriving. As if I'm not barely surviving, a man on a Facebook comment referred to my people as jobless alcoholic waste. Because he thinks we suffered this way just for the fuck of it. These people always feel to see the bigger picture of why things are the way they are because if they did they would feel guilty for the part that they play today. So they continue to do what they do best, turn their backs and pretend we're not here as they've been doing for the past 500 years and they accuse us of holding on to the past. And we are. Because their past seeps into our present and holds away at our souls, but they never hear us when we say this. So maybe we should shout this from rooftops and mountains and leave our way into the conversations that they exclude us from. Because there should be no option of whose oppression against address, but right now the only people who care for my people are my people. And our fear is, because we're only looked at through closed eyes and told to get over it. But how can we get over something that isn't over? All the people left me in the field this way. Insecure is the way I like to describe myself. At least in this very moment I can describe myself accurately. Insecure is what you never want to be. Because no one likes to grow without confidence in a skirt above her knee. Insecure is what my overlapping teeth spelled out to you. When you roll tracing over my upper thigh stretch marks. Where the tip of my slantin nose directs you insecure. Because of the words you touch me with and not because of my reflection in the mirror. Insecure because of the poking ignorance and my stomach. Insecure because of the mention of my need of dental work. Insecure because you notice glass don't sit on my face the right way. Insecure because you let them show me what I need to be. Insecure because I know that boy you never loved me love me why don't you love me why can't you tell me you love me I N S E C U R E not because of me but because you let me be insecure. Thank you. This feels like the best place to make sure our digital friends out there in the world have access and can hear us. They work to divide our communities because there is strength in numbers. We must acknowledge we are on Indigenous land. The place where we are is stolen through death and destruction. We must acknowledge the legacies of slavery and anti-blackness. The place where we are was built and enriched through exploitation. We must acknowledge generations of suppression of women's rights. The place where we are is here because of the later in presence of women. We must acknowledge systems of heterosexism, gender. We must acknowledge that access to space because of physical and institutional barriers. The place where we are is missing some of the people. The people are still alive. So we are acknowledging physical and cultural genocide. We are acknowledging erasure and denial. We are acknowledging institutional and structural oppression. These are the tools that were used and are still being used to make this place where we are. This is where we begin. And this is where we begin to make it better. We acknowledge the depth and strength of the communities collaborating over generations to reclaim and create justice. Now this was the network of ensemble theaters first national gathering in the southwest. And the work here was curated and organized with such thoughtfulness and generosity. And we are so grateful. A few days ago in Tempe, we spoke about the power our shared practice creates. Ensemble Theater demonstrates a microcosm of democracy and action. And we asked ourselves, where are we? Who are we? Where are we going? And what we want to become. And today in Tucson, we're going to explore what answers and new questions have been generated in our time together. In this moment of state and individual violence, weekly hate crimes where bombs are sent in the mail, African-Americans are murdered on site, a synagogue is attacked in an act of horrific anti-Semitism and troops are being sent to the border to threaten asylum seekers. We must explicitly state and live our values of equity. This is a time for course correction. Which is why we named this moment together, reroutes. We're forging new paths that are new to some and stewarded by wayfinders for generations. And we are so grateful to the elders who shared their history with us here. The performers and change makers who shared their practice with us here. The artists who shared their work with us here. In the next hour, we are going to reflect and process verbally and through physical embodiments and visually. And at the end, Alicia and Shireen are going to give us a few final remarks. It would be a chance for others to also maybe say, hey, come do this with me elsewhere. So I'm just going to finish by introducing myself and then asking my colleagues who are going to be helping us to lead and shepherd this final moment together to do the same. My name is Claudia Alec. I'm co-president of the board of the Network of Ensemble Theaters. My gender pronouns are she, her, they, theirs and my access needs are full event. I'm going to pass the microphone on to my next colleague who's going to help us do our next section. Thank you. Thank you. Yes, hi everyone. My name is Rebecca Wasem. I've been out there lately. I live in New Orleans, Louisiana. All my access needs are met. To be with y'all and to lead us through some conversation and body language of what we've experienced over the last few days. So first, in order to do that in a moment but not right now, we're going to break into groups and we're going to do that by going around and numbering ourselves off one through eight. But I'm going to give you a little sneak preview of what we're going to do once you've taken the group and then when you're getting them, I'm going to tell you again what we're going to do. We're going to write groups. We're going to have conversations. We're going to do some prompts. Those prompts are going to be written down so if you missed them, and sounds to reflect back what we're doing. Cool? It's like the short version of what we're doing. So we're going to start here and count one through eight around the circle. Please out to that. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight. Keep going. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, one, two, three, four. I'm going to hover and listen to you all so skip me. Five, six, seven, eight, one, 1, 2, 3, 4, 3, 2, yes! Come back over here, 3's over here, on the stage, so you can sign your friends, yeah. 1, 2, 3, 4's are going to be here, 5's are going to be there, 6's are going to be here, 7, 8. Yeah? Alright, everyone move and then settle, so I can give you your prompts. You have 2 minutes. If you can hear my voice, clap your hands. If you can hear my voice, shake your whole body. Haha! Okay, so you are going to have 10 minutes in your group to have a little discussion about things that have happened over the last several days. And the prompts that are going to lead to this discussion are What did you like? What was cool? Were we like, oh my god! That's so amazing! Of course. So prompt number 1 is What did you like? What was interesting, fascinating, intriguing to you? Prompt number 2 is What do you wish? Ah, that was awesome. It would have been really cool if we did this. That is to help us. And then there will be a more exciting program next time. And number 3, what do you wonder? So what are some critical questions that you are sitting on? About process, about practice, around how we engage equitably in the work? I'm going to ask our viewers about our graphic facilitator. If you could write our wish, life and wonder about just in case people forget. You can also write it down in your groups. You're going to have 10 minutes. Have a session. I would encourage you to do a quick lighting round of like, who are these people in this group with me? Where did they come from? What are their pronouns? I can refer to them respectfully but then personally. And then jump in. Any clear mind questions from this room of beautiful folks? No? Excellent. So like, I'm going to ask you, like, I just have got that professional question. Like, hey, let's go. Show me around. So just wondering, like, I know things like this are hard to play just because you can never stand in a place but like, kind of having deeper conversations about where we are and not just taking bad breaks. If you can hear my voice clap once. You can hear my voice clap once. Excellent. Group number one. But what you're going to do with that three minutes is condense your conversations into three images and three sounds. Three images, three sounds. Condense your conversation. You have three minutes and I hope you can do this because you're amazing. Go. That might be just too bad. Amazing energy here. In this larger space, we'll be chatting. Group one, you have to go right up to the popcorn reflection and then we're going to move on to the next one. Cool. Clear. Maybe not stand here because it's weird. Anybody? Yeah! Take your voice to your thoughts during our time together. I'd like to make a special invitation to you to share. If you're challenged and you find it difficult to share, then I encourage you to step into that challenge and share. If your challenge is that you find it difficult to listen, I invite you to step into that challenge. I'm just going to sit for one minute and think about what you're going to take with you. Now, if you'd like to share, we're just going to do this popcorn style. If you're moved to share, please feel free to speak up. I can't. I can see you all, but keep spinning. Let's just try if you're moved to share. If we come to the end, we only have about 10 minutes and you're still sitting with something. We also invite you to share it on the board over here. This is not your only chance, but it's a good chance. Urgency and hope for further connections. How much I love the desert and how good a lesson is to say that to really get it, you've got to get close and down the road. Walking and asking questions at the same time. Community. For the future, you call as I know, because that's community-accessible strategy at the same point. Lucy, can you show it again? Shiloh and Elizabeth and Payne. Thank you very much. We are isolated here. Inclusion of community. Community that extends beyond boundaries and support. Understanding those lands we're standing on. Decolonization and investing in those most impacted. Who is running it? Who profits from it? Were you invited by the sort of community? And is it religion or spiritual practice? What you do is completely different and inspires me. The need for ongoing self-reflection. Connected people, just as people. Decolonization of institutions and systems. And processes. Embracing all cultures. And for every video, I must say that I've been seen. Yeah. And for those of us that don't speak Spanish, I'm going to put it out there. Translation. The people united will never be defeated. Thank you. Thank you. Jerry Seven A's. Respect in opposition. The importance of roots and branches. Humility for the vast amount of privilege that I hold. And the agency I have to make visible those that are not seen. And working towards them. And involved. Make alters every day. To the social movement. And then if you're going, we're going to go there. Key versus conference. Who is your work for? From a little to joy. Responsibility to name harm. One final moment. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you for your generous presence, everyone. Thank you. I invite you to continue to contribute takeaways to the board. And to others. Beyond the circle. And the paper will stay up for about another 20 minutes after we're done. So if you want to add to this, please. This is a community document. And to think about these. These questions. What do I have to offer? What do I need? To share those with others as well. After that. I'm going to turn it back over. To Alicia. For our final. Closing. Thank you so much. Some of you have just been up here, but could you all stand or indicate please. That you are currently on the net board. At the beginning of every calendar year. That's something that you might be interested in. Be in touch. As we close out. This is also a chance for me to thank again our partners. We did a final thank you for our 10 B partners as we left that space. So I want to use this time to specifically give thanks to our partners here in Tucson. Who have been amazing, amazing collaborators. Really deep community thinkers. And providers of space and all kinds of resources. Borderlands. Many mouths on the stomach. The scoundrel and scamp theater. And the Tucson. So thank you to that. Through these five days have presented as panelists. As artists. You have been opening conversations as participants. And I want to thank all of you for that. And particularly those of you who stepped forward to bring content into the space with us. Thank you. So this is my biggest thank you. Next, next staff. Stand up where you are. Mark Mangoba, who joined us briefly in Tempe have kept this wild bus on the road. They have been working themselves like mad to make this happen. And I just want to make sure you all know how much we see and appreciate that. Thank you. It's going to stream. I have a couple of logistical notes and also some questions about logistics. For the rest of the day that we have to share with you. So I will have to screen to start that. Hi everybody. First. Thank you to Lisa Mount for doing this documentation over here. Give take pictures and post on the social media of that. That would be great. I will give a round of applause to Alicia. A personal heartfelt thank you to who I'm still standing because of. And Jake, who is, as I said before, a great artist and a great partner. I just want to say that I thank all of you for going with the flow. I really appreciate it. So my biggest, biggest announcement is once we leave the space, I'm locking the keys in here. So I will not have access to the space once I'm out. So everything that you brought in must go with you. I will not be of help to you after I'm out of the space. So please, please, please do not leave anything behind because I won't be able to help. And then if there's a transportation handout in the back, if you have questions about transportation tonight, public transportation around all souls and different bus routes and things like that. If you have it, what's also very helpful is the all souls procession app that has a route on it as well. Those are my announcements and I will pass it to Alicia who's been to the all souls procession because she has more insight into details. And not only that, we have locals and other folks in the room who know a lot more than I do. So, thank you, Shirin. Okay, also for those of you who are like, wait, wait, remember I said that I had that thing I wanted to tell people? Yes, we remember when we're finished with the logistics. There's going to be some space for that. So don't sit there nervously worrying that that's not going to happen. It will happen. Okay, so this right here, our time together here concludes the net portion of our programming, which means from here until when you leave, you're pretty much on your own together as you want to be, but on your own. So, as Shirin mentioned, there is a procession guide on the app that we suggest you download. That has way more answers to many more questions than we could possibly know to tell you. So you should really look there for most things first, but some brief notes. So the lineup starts around 4 p.m. and some of this information is in your program as well, if you've been looking there. But it'll start around 4 p.m. The procession actually goes at about 6, but it gets really, really, really crowded by 6. I'm going to encourage you because of what's happening with us at the finale in the VIP section, which I'll talk about in a minute. As you line up, you're going to want to be as close to the front as you can get yourself. That means either get there early or it means make your way to the front as you get there. And I say that because at the finale, as part of your registration with net, we have secured access for anyone with a net edge to have access to the VIP section at the finale ceremony. This means that you will get to be in an area that is at the closest part to the fantastic spectacle that happens. You'll be able to see all of the amazing things happening. It means you'll have access to a buffet dinner. It means you'll have access to some seating and some tables. The way you're going to get into that section is with your badge. I'm going to say that again. You're going to get into that section with your badge. If you don't have it, I'm not going to be able to help you because I won't be right there. So really, make sure you have your badge. For those of you who might be wondering, I don't know, I got some mobility stuff. I don't know that I really want to walk the route, but I want to be at the end. I want to see the finale. There will be a team of us, including me, who are going to show up early to that VIP access area and kind of try to claim some space. It isn't a situation where you can reserve specifically, but you know, you can claim some space for yourself. So if you'd like to be part of that group, we're going to show up around 645-ish to that area and just kind of hang out. So come hang out with me and some others if you'd like to do that. The VIP area, as you are coming in the procession, you'll see the big field where the finale is happening, and it's kind of right toward the front of that, and you'll sort of view over to the left, and you'll see sort of an area where you're able to get access. Adam, others involved, is there something more specific that would be helpful? What can you see and identify? So towards the staging area, you can't really miss where the staging is. There's a cute vertical, like ammo belly, these screens. And a lot of huge trussing, kind of like building out the stage. Yeah, and the seats will be out there as early as 4-2, so yeah, if you don't want to start from the beginning, you can go directly to the finale site. Yeah, and just hang out. And it's still pretty clear, like no one really shows up until between 5-6 that the public, people who don't know off the credit, they just go to the finale site. Should we go earlier than 645 if we're trying to kind of hold onto some space? What would you recommend? Yeah. What time? I would say no later than 6. Okay, 6 o'clock. And also, some of us will make sure we're there at 6, and then others who want to kind of join later, you can do that too. We're almost to the point of questions. I know I said I can't help you, and you can look in the All Souls Guide for most of your questions. That said, it can be challenging to make phone calls because of the noise at various points. If you are truly in a situation where you need help from us specifically, I'm going to give you my cell number right now. And you should text me, and I will try to sort out what. Yes? I need that person, but I put my name tag this morning. I'll look again, but what if I can't on you? Nicole, Shareen, do we have access to make replacement tags for folks who need them? I have to make more. If that comes to us, but I don't know how many I have at this point. So you might have to strong check and scratch that so they don't need to show up. But maybe you're going to have enough. How many people are having this issue at the moment that you're thinking, oh no? Just me for sure. Oh no. Oh my goodness. I think one of them had that. Right now I'm dancing three times. We've got three playing things that I'm proud of. Oh boy. Yeah, also there's been a great suggestion from Leslie back here that if you know that you are leaving, or you know that you're not planning at being at the procession or at the finale, and you want to hand in your tag so that it could potentially get reused, that might be a way we can help each other too. Other questions? Yeah. I knew you went over it, but I was still a little confused. Okay. My apologies. So if I'm understanding correctly, what you're suggesting is we show up to the procession at round four or five o'clock, put ourselves in the front of it, walk the entire length of it, and then when we get to the staging area, look for something that is in the VIP. I didn't catch that one. There's these barricades that are going to be demarcating the front of the stage with a bunch of seating and tables. Everybody else stands behind that. We get you up to the barrier. That's, yeah. We are so proud of that. Cool. But that is the idea that we walk towards the front-ish part of the procession. If you are choosing to walk from the beginning of the procession, I encourage you to get yourself as close to the front as you can. There are many other options. You cannot walk at all and just go to the finale. You cannot go all together. You can stand along the side of the rope at any point, like even just a few little bit out from where it's over, and hop in to the front as it comes by. So it's, as you heard on the panel yesterday, it is very sort of fluid and free-form and sort of everyone self-regulates. If we chill at the finale, can we see the whole procession on tortoise, or does it dissipate before then? If you're at the finale site in the Viec area, yeah, like you will see a mass of people come in from a side of it, but once it gets to that site, like it kind of disperses so people kind of like take over the entire city block that the finale stage is just a part of. Yeah, you go to the floats and the puppets that they kind of feel come into the performance area. And the choir's still mad. I remember last year that there was a moment sort of during the finale ceremony that like the roots and folks who had some things like not clothed, but like some things actually did sort of a thing across stage, is that? Yeah. And the choir had the session move a little bit slower so it's possible to kind of walk around it because it's really dense in the street. So it's possible to watch from the sidewalks at different points and then get ahead of it if you're mobile only. Yes. Yeah, because I'm just curious if you're at the front of it, you're not really able to watch it. So is there any advice for like the best viewing for the procession? Is that just to kind of hop in and out like that? I mean, if you want to watch the parade and see who else is in it, like you can also walk slower or get a little further into the parade. You're going to get lost in the density of people. You can also walk faster and go up front and like wait at the front down the street as it's coming and let it like watch it pass you by. Or if you're at the finale site near the stage and area, you will see the mass of people coming as well. Okay. But then it's like it's just going to be like really dispersed like all these people are going to slowly be walking out of everywhere. I believe it is also live-streamed. Is that something that lives after the fact? I don't know if this is your live-stream. Oh, okay. I thought I had seen something posted. There might be a live-stream. There's a chance that maybe if you feel like oh my goodness, maybe you could see. And if not this year there would be ones from past years that you at least be able to get a sense of the full scale. Yeah. Super quick. How long does that procession, because it takes off about six o'clock? It takes at least about an hour and a half. It only walks a mile or three miles to the finale site. It would take about an hour and a half for all the people to come probably over these two hours for the end of the break to get into the finale space. Okay. There's a bit of insulation there. Makes sense. Makes sense. Question board. Yes. Let's do the plack of the procession at four o'clock and walk our way up to the front. Might you see sort of the content of the all of the puppets and cloaks on our way up to the front or would that be impossible to move through it? Outside of it because it's so dense at certain points that you're really going to be shoving through. Okay. Yeah, I would just stay out to the side of the street. Towards the front I just want to see everything walk by. Yeah, and it's hard for me to say how long it actually gets once the back starts walking that the front might very well be already going into the re-tow or like where the Santa Cruz River area as like the back is starting to move. It might be that long of like several blocks where the procession is throughout for the groups of people playing pillow. Yeah. You want to watch that with a safety on the side of the street. I think that framing that we've heard a little bit of yesterday is important also. It's just to sort of, I can tell you sort of my own personal experience last year walking really resonated to me when I heard some of the panelists talking about this yesterday that it feels like something that is more a sort of participatory experience than a spectator parade, which is not to say that you cannot choose to spectate and watch, but the core of what it is is really about being part of the group. Walking together rather than watching other people walk by. So for what that's worth. Other pressing questions. How important is it to be like in some kind of costume or make up? It's a well known thing. But I mean this is where I think it's very invented. People wear all this costumes. This is where I think the career comes in. Yeah. If you want to put this color on your face, that's where you're supposed to be. Yeah. Yeah. You will see people have set up with tables doing, having people pay them to do face painting and that kind of thing. So that is one of those moments to ask yourself your questions. But a lot of people, you know, the quality of that is, you know, it's a minor. And some people just walk without being in costume of anything. Absolutely. Okay. The names of the dead or the photographs or messages to put in the urn so you can break off to put it in the urn. And there are alvers that sort of go through the crowd and help collect. If you have something written, anything that can burn basically, you can put into their little vessels that they then take to the urn on your behalf if you're not close enough to get to the urn yourself. Other pressing questions about, okay, I think we now have our space for those who had other things they wanted to offer to the group. I know you had one. I know someone else had one. But Eric had one. Why don't we start with you all? Hey, Hope. I'm Pamela Hollings from Fluss Fury Theatre and I wanted to remind those of you who already know or let you know that every other summer we have a festival of ensemble theatre in San Francisco and Oakland. And let's look on our website, Fluss Fury, and apply and come. We also do an annual winter celebration called a celebration publication with libations. And this year we are asking for five-minute or shorter submissions of writing in any form whatsoever that could be presented. Things we're specifically asking for, items of writing that move the soul. So, it's very wide open. Thank you. I'm Eric Coopers with the Cal State East Bay Inclusive Interdisciplinary Ensemble and we as an ensemble were particularly moved by standing with Saguaros and we are going to head back there this afternoon for more in-depth duets and some hiking and we wanted to just open it up to anybody that would like to join us. We might have a few spaces in our band, I'm not sure yet, but we can find a way to meet there. If you are interested, I'll be sitting right back here as we break and just come on over and we'll make a very loose plan together. We're probably going to go to lunch first and then head up there and then come back in time for the procession. So please don't join us. Right, so excited to be here that we're forgetting what's going to happen for us next on Thursday. We're hosting a very, very, very small but possibly significant kind of group of social theater companies. This was inspired or promoted by a group called Caravan Next from Europe and it's mostly an Italian group but they've been traveling all around. I think it's also a European thing. They're coming to the United States and it just happens to be on Thursday Irondale Theater is graciously hosting. Bon Street will be there, this is Caravan Next group. What city is this, Dan? This is going to be on New York City, of course. What other city could it be? I think so. Okay, inclusive enough. It also includes Pingchang, Touchstone from Pennsylvania, Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, Irondale, Bon Street, and Caravan Next. So if you could talk to us or email Michael or Joanna at faunce.org and we'll make sure to send you more information that we're going to be in New York next Thursday. But if you are, everyone is welcome to come. There's no cost or anything. All on the fly. Thank you. I'm Jill Topper with Carpet Bag Theater. That's my bro-worker, Jonathan. We just want to extend a heartfelt invitation to the Carpet Bag Theater Inc.'s 50th anniversary celebration that starts in April of 2019 with Steven Sapp from Universes directing a remount of our original piece, Swapro. So there will be things throughout all of the year. And so, please visit our website. October 19th, you've come to the Gala. Gala. October 19th. Point being, all of this information that will be going on throughout the year will be on our website, CarpetBagsTheater.org and that's T-R-E. So please join us at some point in 2019 to celebrate our 50th year. I'm going on an election on Tuesday. I'm not telling you how to vote. And I just want to call out to all of you who are also doing such things as texting, phone banking, canvassing and poll watching and helping us with polls. This may be, I'm not saying they're perfect. This may be the most important election we've ever seen. We're going to stop outright fascism. So I just wanted to put that out there. Thank you. Asking, oh, I need to get back to Phoenix tomorrow. I just pulled up. Brown has eight trips daily and it's $14 to go from here to Phoenix tomorrow. One way. There's also the Arizona Shuttle that leaves hourly. That's a little more expensive, above $35. So just a quick Google, Greyhound or Arizona Shuttle, get you back. Yeah. Can you spell that again? So, get home. And just say, I work with HowlRound and I know some of y'all know me. Post convenings, we have a journal. We're interested in writing for HowlRound or learning about any of the other platforms that we offer. Please let me know. They are free and open for the community to use and it depends on the community. We need all of your voices in order to keep it going. So feel free to just come grab me when I'm not behind the camera. I'm going to go back. And we get a round of applause. I quote some kind of from Raggedy and Topple in Oakland, California. And for those who took our workshop, we have a lunch in Oakland. But we're now also starting to bring it other places. So we have a certain methodology that we do and if folks are interested in that, they can talk to me. Anyone else? Okay. I have one last thing I want to say which I had meant to say but Jerry's reminder about politics and where we are brings it all the more to the forefront for me. There is one name that I have not mentioned yet that had a whole lot to do with us being here and put the initial bug in my ear about I think we should bring that to Arizona. And that is someone who is not here with us because he's taken a year off of his life as a maker of work to be the operations manager for a campaign in Northern Arizona that there is significant heat behind. Some of you may have seen an ad that kind of went viral that was about Gozer the man who I'm about to name, Jay Ruby was one of the forces behind that ad. He for being for his opponent and he has not been with us here this weekend because there is a small chance that he might be with us tonight but I wanted to just sort of back up for a moment and say so Jay Ruby from Carpet Bag Brigade who is here in Arizona when we were in Chicago two years ago at the end of the wrap up session like this waited and waited and waited a bunch of conversations happened and came up to me and sat down and said I think we need to bring that to Arizona and so that is how all of this started so it would be remiss not to say that he's not in the room but his presence here is huge and he might be with us tonight so thank you Jay I'm going to call things to a close I think we might even be a few minutes early thanks to our board facilitation team who are the best you know everything that Net does we do as co-creation we do as a community Net is all of you this conference is all of you so I just deeply deeply thank all of you it is a true true honor and privilege to get to do this on behalf of you all in this field every day so thank you for letting me do that however you choose to spend the rest of your time here before you head to your home locations or elsewhere I hope you have a wonderful fruitful thoughtful time I wish you safe travels home and thank you for being here
