ArtsEmerson: The World On Stage presents City Council Meeting. City Council Meeting is a participatory theatre event about empathy, democracy and power. Created by Aaron Landsman, Mallory Catlett and Jim Findlay, the project combines local government transcripts, original writing and a surprise ending, revealing the city we make together each night by performing it. Who are you in this place? You live here. What’s your problem? City Council Meeting is a New England Foundation for the Arts National Theater Pilot project, and will be presented in four U.S. cities (and counting), with additional funding from New Play Network and MAP. The project is developed with lead support from the HERE Artist-in-Residence Program (HARP).
