Our Theatre Reading Circle for August found a beautiful home at the mesmerising space of Junkiri Library. 🌸
We read, reflected, questioned, and sat with the idea of the pause. We didn't just look at the in the context ofPlayback Theatre but also looked beyond it.
What does it mean to pause?
To reflect. To rest. To breathe. To listen before responding. To allow things to settle before rushing to make sense of them. To sift, assimilate, and make space for what is emerging. And sometimes, simply to pause long enough to come together and be present with one another.
One of the things that stayed with us was the idea that a pause isn't necessarily a moment when nothing is happening. Sometimes, it is precisely where the most is happening quietly, beneath the surface. A space where we can notice what belongs to us, what belongs to another, and what becomes possible when we don't immediately rush to action.
Perhaps that is also what a reading circle can be. A brief pause in the rhythm of our lives to read together, think together, listen to one another, and allow ideas to move beyond the page.
So much gratitude to Junkiri Library for holding such a warm and generous space, and to everyone who showed up, listened, questioned, reflected, and shared their thoughts with us.
Come join us for the next Theatre Reading Circle. We'd love to have you there. 🙏🏽🌸
