Description
ABOUT
Shape of Becoming explores how the people in our lives shape our identity and guide us toward our unique voices. Inspired by Japanese Noh theater and the Zen meditation practice of sutra tracing, the experience invites reflection on personal growth through a performance of Benjamin Britten’s String Quartet No. 2 and spoken-word storytelling, culminating in a collective ritual mirroring the journey of transformation.
