HAND 2 MOUTH

HAND 2 MOUTH Creating original work One part theatre ensembleOne part cultural diplomacyOne part arts educationHand2Mouth produces local programming wherever we go. Our heart is in Portland but grows wide enough to reach people in unsung communities in the far-flung corners of the world and encourage them to grow and shine together in a safe space. WHO WE ARE Our work is grounded in devised theatreAll of Hand2Mouth’s projects use this collaborative approach in which narratives are born out of experimental group exercises — and weaved together into wholly original creations. Our goal is to foster unexpectedly tight-knit human bonds across diverse cultures that can leave an indelible and long-lasting mark on everyone involved. OUR APPROACH "As an audience member, you discover that despite feeling lonely, you’re actually not alone. Someone else across the globe feels the same thing and shares the same idea." Community Participant, Egypt Exchange “I saw skills such as trust-building, thinking on your feet and everyone warming up to each other. That doesn’t necessarily happen unless you’re physically present together with cultural programs like Hand2Mouth.” U.S. Embassy Partner in Addis Ababa (African Union Exchange) “I learned how to step out of my comfort zone and engage with people from different backgrounds. Theatre is capable of expressing everything — and that’s something I value.” Community Participant, Lebanon Exchange Join hands with Hand2Mouth GET INVOLVED
