Great Bends Immersive Event

Great Bends

site specific dinner theater

Brooklyn ,   New York

Experience hosted by Floorwork Arts Collective

In a near-future teetering on the edge of climate catastrophe, Great Bends tells the story of Ness, Ona, and Ben—three friends and former activists navigating the complexities of life, loss, and an uncertain future. Set against the backdrop of relentless flooding in their hometown of Great Bend, Kansas, the play delves into the personal impact of climate change and the ways it reshapes relationships, dreams, and identities. Great Bends explores urgent themes of climate uncertainty, the weight of birth and loss, and the tension between personal choices and global crises. Through intimate conversations, the characters confront the scars left by natural disasters, rekindle old bonds, and grapple with the decisions that shape their futures in a world that feels increasingly unstable. Great Bends by Sarah Powers will premiere as an original work of immersive dinner theatre. Every ticket invites you to join these friends in a homecooked meal provided by professional chef and community builder Lottie Gurvis of Stay For Supper. In a time of turbulent isolation, join us for an evening of hospitality and intimate connection; let’s find refuge in one another.... Show More

Floorwork Arts Collective aims to produce collaborative new work "from the ground up" that speaks to contemporary social issues. By imbedding the values of our art into our creative practice, we empower emerging interdisciplinary artists to praxis their ideas while creating with, educating, and entertaining audiences in experimental productions. Our goal is to create nontraditional, anti-capitalist theatre in community that deconstructs hierarchies and promotes ecological sustainability.
