114 Following the Elephants - Lifeline Storytelling Project at Filet of Solo - written by Chris Hainsworth dir Dorothy Milne. Around the end of 2014 I was asked if I wanted to participate in Lifeline Storytelling Projects’s entry in what would be the 2015 session of Filet of Solo. Other than drunkenly rambling on at bars and parties, personal storytelling was a venue I had never entered into so, so I thought I would give it a shot. The Lifeline Storytelling Project was started by Dorothy Milne, who has a passion for the art form, as both outreach and opportunity for Lifeline friends, staff, ensemble and board. We were called Five from Rogers Park, and everyone else told deeply personal stories about conflict and growth and I told stories about having to carry port-a-potties up and down stairs as part of my Steppenwolf internship. You can watch the whole thing here: https://vimeo.com/117766425 I can be on stage in character and not feel any nerves, but appearing as myself is an entirely different animal, So you can see some nerves, but overall I’m proud of it, and grateful for the opportunity. #retrospective #2015 #lifelinetheatre #lifelinestorytellingproject #fivefromrogerspark #filetofsolo #followingtheelephants #dorothymilne #chrishainsworth (at Lifeline Theatre) https://www.instagram.com/p/B8T_CGJpbGx/?igshid=zer18rdiq8tk
