SUMMARY:Native Story Works
DESCRIPTION:Native Story Works \nAn Afternoon of In-Progress Staged Readings\n \nPresented by the Luke Madrigal’s Indigenous Storytelling Nonprofit\nin partnership with the Dorothy Ramon Learning Center\n\n\nJoin the organization for an afternoon of staged readings from Native artists—writers\, actors\, dancers and musicians. These works-in-progress explore love\, loss\, memory\, and cultural resilience\, honoring the storytelling traditions of Indigenous peoples while forging new paths forward.\n\nTalechasers\nWritten by Renda Dionne MadrigalIn this sci-fi mystery\, a Native mother and her two daughters—each on their own path of longing and loss—leave behind what they thought they wanted to chase something greater: the survival of story itself. Talechasers: Chapter One is the first installment in a sci-fi mystery series featuring Indigenous women reclaiming voice\, memory\, and power through laughter\, legacy\, and a few uncanny visitations. When an artifact\, that was hidden away\, is stolen from their home on the rez\, it unleashes murderous beasts on the land. The family must come together to fulfill the legacy of their late husband and father by forming the Talechasers Alliance\, a storytelling resistance capable of facing forces far beyond their understanding. One that will draw them into a mythic battle that blurs the line between the past and present\, science and myth.\n\nDragonfly\nWritten by Sophia MadrigalThree Native foster siblings face the impossible: the loss of their youngest brother to the system. As they fight to keep him in their home\, they draw strength from the songs and stories of their Cahuilla heritage. Woven into their journey are the ancient Bird Songs\, the voice of their late father through a traditional lullaby\, and the legend of the Dragonfly. This play is a moving meditation on memory\, identity\, and the enduring power of story.Dragonfly bridges the historical trauma of the boarding school era with the present-day foster care system\, reminding us why Native children belong in Native homes.\n\nSkywoman\nWritten by Isabella Madrigal“Skywomen\,” is a multi-media performance piece that explores Anishinaabe and Cahuilla water and migration stories passed down by a mother to her daughter. The play imagines a future where Indigenous peoples\, specifically Indigenous women\, are centered in climate conversations.

SUMMARY:ívaqîú·í by Subversive Verses
DESCRIPTION:Subversive Verses is stoked to bring you the second gathering in our live poetry reading series. If you haven’t heard of them yet\, they are a collective of California Native women centering the dynamic voices of our community and celebrating the strength of Indigenous emotion through art\, music\, and poetry. \nFor the summer season\, the group will bring you ívaqîú·í. In the Cahuilla language\, ívaqîú·í translates to “becoming strong.” And with everything that the world has been through in these recent months – seeing attacks on collective rights as human beings as well as against collective lands – everyone has had to draw on our strength as Indigenous Peoples. The group invites you to join them as they share\, grow\, and heal together in their traditional summer homelands of Idyllwild. \nLook for updates on insta @subversive_verses \nAudiowild Studios\, 54240 Ridgeview Dr\, Idyllwild-Pine Cove\, CA 92549
