La narración ha sido una parte integral de la historia de la humanidad desde antes de la palabra escrita.
La narración ha sido una parte integral de la historia de la humanidad desde antes de la palabra escrita. Desde podcasts hasta charlas TED, la narración ha adquirido nuevas formas a medida que avanza la tecnología, pero su presencia es constante. Es parte de la naturaleza humana compartir nuestras historias de alegría, dolor, éxito y pérdida entre nosotros. Estas experiencias compartidas, el acto de compartir esas experiencias, nos conecta profundamente con otros en el mundo.
NAMI Washington lanzó The Brainpower Chronicles: Mental Health Stories para unir a las personas en sus experiencias de enfermedad mental y recuperación. Las crisis de salud mental pueden ser algunos de los eventos de salud más aislados que uno puede experimentar en esta vida, con un efecto dominó que afecta a familias enteras. Brainpower Chronicles es nuestra forma de crear comunidad y acabar con el estigma que mantiene a la gente en silencio, mientras recaudamos fondos para la misión fundamental de NAMI Washington de mejorar la calidad de vida de todas las personas afectadas por enfermedades mentales.
La actuación de 2022 se llevará a cabo EN VIVO en el Kirkland Performance Center para 250 personas, y también se transmitirá EN VIVO. El teatro tiene capacidad para más de 400 personas, solo vendemos 250 entradas para la presentación EN VIVO para que podamos garantizar el entorno más seguro para nuestros invitados. Si desea comprar un boleto para asistir en persona, por favor sepa lo siguiente:
1. Prueba de vacunación requerida en la puerta la noche de la función
2. Se deben usar máscaras faciales durante toda la presentación
3. Los asientos serán conducidos, por grupo, para que usted y sus invitados puedan permanecer juntos, pero también
estar socialmente distanciado de los demás.
Recuerda, también estamos TRANSMITIENDO EN VIVO la presentación, el costo de la entrada es el mismo.
Fuerza. Esperar. Vulnerabilidad. Porque la recuperación es real y vamos a hablar de ella en los términos más reales. Te reirás, llorarás... ¡y dejarás The Brainpower Chronicles sabiendo que NO ESTÁS SOLO!
The 2023 performance is being held LIVE at the Kirkland Performance Center for 400 people. Face masks are strongly encouraged.
Strength. Hope. Vulnerability. Because recovery is real, and we're going to talk about it in the realest terms.
You'll laugh, you'll cry...and you'll leave The Brainpower Chronicles knowing YOU ARE NOT ALONE!
