But\, what happens when they make the unfamiliar familiar and run off course? \nWritten + Directed by Marissa Joyce Stamps\nCo-Produced by Marissa Joyce Stamps\, Ava Elizabeth Novak\, Thalia Sablon\, + Nola Latty\nFeaturing Alexis Dobynes\, Aja Downing\, Marie Flore Stamps\, Mariyea\, Chloe Mutebi\, + Danté Charles Crichlow\nScenic Design by lucas a. degirolamo\nLighting Design by André Segar\nCostume Design by DeShon Elem\nSound Design & Composition by Lamb\nLead Carpentry by Thomas Wagner\nStage Management by Abigail Berven-Stotz \nBy invoking running\, the play centers the utopian possibilities in Black folks’\, especially Black women and femmes’\, relationship to rest\, recuperation and restoration\, while trying to conquer the utter guilt that comes with embracing those principles for ourselves. And in the same breath\, Being Up in Here… brings into focus the internal conflict of deciding whether to it’s better to stay close to the familiar\, like one’s close-knit hometown community\, or if it’s better to uncover the unfamiliar and take the risk of seeing what lies outside in uncharted territory\, and examines the nuances of prioritizing one over the other in one’s search for home\, belonging\, and self-actualization. \ncw: sudden loud noises\, strobing light\, fog\, mention of suicide\, and discussion of death. \nFind them: marissajoycestamps.com @marissajoycestamps @beingupinhere  \n \nTHE EXPONENTIAL FESTIVAL\nJANUARY’S BROOKLYN-BASED THEATRE FESTIVAL\n~ A pleasure\, a mess\, a thrill\, and a dream. ~​ \nExponential is a month-long January festival dedicated to New York City-based emerging artists working in experimental performance.
