Posted by Liz and John Attaway, 6/7/23

Three major events will offer something to enjoy for every member of the family!

Today, the Art Farm at Serenbe team is thrilled to announce the first-ever “Under the Tent” series premiering this Fall. The “Under the Tent” series will be a compilation of three events: “Mashups in the Meadow”, a special night featuring five former American Idol performers, “VOICE: A Night of Spoken Word” hosted by Emmy nominated writer and storyteller Jon Goode, and the internationally acclaimed aeralist troup Les Farfadais presenting “SERENITY”, a whimsical and immersive, acrobatic cirque style show created exclusively for Art Farm. 

The “Under the Tent” series will commence with “Soiree at Serenbe” on September 21. This evening will be an engaging gathering for art patrons and enthusiasts in support of ambitious plans to expand the Art Farm campus. Festivities will include libations and bites as well as feature a live auction. Patrons will also experience a preview of each exciting performance scheduled for the series. 

“This series is incredibly exciting and offers something for everyone to enjoy!” said Madalyn Mentor, Director of Operations for the Art Farm at Serenbe. “As a unique global destination for the highest caliber of entertainment, we are thrilled to offer this spectacular compilation of events in our magical location. We look forward to having our local arts community join us for the opening evening and all the performances to follow.”

“Mashups in the Meadow” performance will showcase the incredible talents of former American Idol stars Diana DeGarmo, Ace Young, Melinda Dolittle, Brandon Rogers, and Alexis Grace. The program will consist of well known song pairings “mashed up” as well as a taste of each performer’s original music. Whether a fan from their time on the well-known talent reality show or just someone who loves hearing incredible singers perform live, this show is sure to please audience members of all ages.

“VOICE: A Night of Spoken Word” will be hosted by writer and storyteller Jon Goode. Four Atlanta performers will be joined by a live band as they share stories, poetry, and music. The performers for the evening include Amina Brown, Jonathan Samuel Eddy, Scotty Crowe, Kifayat, and Goode Stuff Experience.

“We were inspired by our visit to Serenbe to create, “SERENITY,” a unique and magical show that reflects the beauty of this special place.” said Kyle Kier from Les Farfadais. “Our multi-discipline circus troupe combines the talents of aerial art, acrobatics, and storytelling for a show that will give audience members a totally unique experience.”

HEREAFTER, AN IMMERSIVE THEATRE EXPERIENCE POPS BACK UP IN SOUTH DOWNTOWN

WHAT:       HEREafter Episode 2: An Immersive, Live, Socially Distant Theatre Experience

$20+ (Please note, parking fees are not included in the ticket price.)
This event is rain or shine.
Also note, Episode 1 is not a necessary prerequisite to enjoy Episode 2.

Prepare to be swept into a powerful multi-sensory experience when HEREafter, an immersive theatre production, returns for Episode 2, after premiering Episode 1 to sold out audiences in fall of 2019. This one-of-a-kind production engulfs the audience in the story of a family thrown into chaos after the death of their matriarch.

HEREafter Episode 2 is our creative team’s answer to the question: how do we navigate togetherness safely and offer an intimate experience during a global pandemic? We wanted to create a space where the physical restrictions we are all experiencing right now feel less hindering,” said Co-Director Kelly Bartnik. “HEREafter tells the story of dealing with grief, so its themes translate to this time where we are all grieving in our own ways. We hope that through this production, we can create some sense of togetherness.”

The HEREafter team’s goal is to put the safety and health of the audience and the cast members first and foremost throughout this experience. In order to ensure this, each performance will take place first from the convenience of the audience members’ cars and then move guests into an outdoor, open-air environment where social distancing will be enforced – all while maintaining the feeling of being completely entrenched in the show’s narrative. Audience capacity is also extremely limited to ensure appropriate physical distancing.

Touchless check-in and enhanced sanitizing practices, including cleaning and sanitizing the chairs between each show, are being implemented. All audience members will be six feet apart and required to wear masks upon exiting their cars and all cast members will have their faces covered during the performance.

For more information and to purchase tickets, visit www.freshtix.com/organizations/here. Please note due to the nature of the performance, late entry will not be permitted. In addition, a smartphone with data capabilities is necessary to enjoy the full experience.

About HEREafter, Episode 2:  Co-founded by Kelly Bartnik and Kathleen Wessel, HEREafter is an integrative pop-up theater experience from talent involved in NYC’s smash hit, “Sleep No More.” This unique Atlanta-based performance, HEREafter, popped up in the fall of 2019 and is returning again for part 2 of the whirlwind story. The five Atlanta-based cast members of HEREafter wrote and pre-recorded monologues, which were mixed and scored by New York-based sound designer John Glover, minimizing the need for spoken text. Coupled with choreography and staging by co-directors Kelly Bartnik (New York City) and Kathleen Wessel (Atlanta) in collaboration with the performers, the soundscore reveals inner and outer monologues, moving through grief and towards healing.
