Exposed Brick Theatre presents
Vikingos of Muchasnota
by Alex Barreto Hathaway

Exposed Brick Theatre will be workshopping the first act of a new play by Alex Barreto Hathaway, called Vikingos of Muchasnota. The play is a rude comedy about Latin people struggling to get by in the land of Vikings. Who would you become if the world got flipped up-side-down for a day? This lusty romp laughs at our misery, turns fools into Queens, and makes fun of how far we’ve come (or how little, rather) since the Viking age. The play draws from Norse myth, Commedia Dell’arte, and Latinamerican street performances.

Vikingos of Muchasnota is part of Exposed Brick Theatre’s Through Our Eyes play reading series for the development of 8 new plays commissioned in 2020. The virtual showing of Act One of Vikingos of Muchasnota will be livestreamed on Saturday, November 13th at 1:30pm CT. To get the Zoom link just email exposedbricktheatremn@gmail.com and request the link for Vikingos of Muchasnota.

This engagement is supported by the Arts Midwest GIG Fund, a program of Arts Midwest that is funded by the National Endowment for the Arts, with additional contributions from Minnesota State Arts Board.

Managing Culture Shock with the Improvisational Mindset
An online evening of improvisation on Zoom with Jim Robinson and Ethan Goldbach

Many of us think of “culture shock” as applying only to people going abroad for the first time. Here in the U.S., we’re gradually returning to normal — that’s culture shock! Join us as we explore ways improvisation can help us enter new worlds, either at home or abroad.

This 90-minute online workshop co-hosted by Jim Robinson and Ethan Goldbach explores how an improvisational mindset can help all of us navigate culture shock. Through a series of experiential exercises, participants will discover techniques for increasing flexibility, tolerating ambiguity, and developing resilience. Most importantly, attendees will come away with ways to bolster curiosity and find the gifts new situations can bring.

Jim Robinson (Fulbright Specialist Pakistan, 2018) brought his workshop “Improvisation and Mental Health” to USEFP, NUST, and COMSATS. He has worked with international students for over 35 years, teaching improvisation and psychology in Pakistan, Nepal, India, Bangladesh, Panama, and Australia. Currently Jim works with social workers and law enforcement officers, using improv techniques as a method for crisis intervention and motivational interviewing.

Ethan Goldbach, BA. Ethan has a Bachelor’s in History and International Studies. He volunteered, tutored, and taught for the last 8 years in the Dominican Republic, South Korea, Malaysia (Fulbright U.S. Student Program, 2015 & 2016), and Bangladesh (Asian University for Women (2019-present).
