Shows are selling out but we will have some tickets available at the door - please consider coming by even if online tickets are sold out!After responding to a fatal overdose of one of their own, rural EMTs and paramedics question the repetitive trauma and stress of their work. Based on EMS provider stories gathered across the US from 2016-2018, this project graples with the unique challenges faced by emergency medical responders.Join Faultline Ensemble - a group of artists and health workers - for a live continuing education performance about rural EMS providers struggling with and finding paths through trauma. Counting Pebbles was developed from interviews, anonymous stories, artwork, physical improvisation and the artists&#x27; experience as health workers and creators of collaborative performances.We are performing in partnership with Rescue Inc. ambulance service, and the play is eligible for two hours of Vermont EMS continuing education credit. We will be performing in the ambulance bay at Rescue Inc., with a &quot;rain date&quot; weekend of August 17th-20th, in the event of performer illness or emergency. Parking is limited - please consider carpooling if possible. Please note that masks are required for the safety of immune compromised performers and audience. Unmasked artists performing will have tested negative for covid immediately prior to the performance. We will provide masks at the door.Created in partnership with the Code Green Campaign and Mutual Aid Disaster Relief, Counting Pebbles received its first work-in-progress performance in March 2019 at Yale University in New Haven, CT, in conjunction with a Yale Public Health thesis, and is now touring to rural ambulance services. We draw inspiration from the fields of community-based performance, narrative medicine, physical performance, trauma stewardship, drama therapy and theater of the oppressed. The project hopes to validate the unique struggles of first responders, and to celebrate the resilience, cohesion and pride that exist in the first responder community.This project was originally conceived by Faultline Ensemble with the support of Ann Marie Farina of the Code Green Campaign, and the CoHo Summer Workshop Lab residency. We have received funding from the Network of Ensemble Theatres Travel Grant program, the City of New Haven Mayor&#x27;s Community Arts Grants Program, the InnovateHealth Yale Fund, the Tsai CITY Center, the Schell Center for Human Rights at Yale Law, the Yale Public Health Social and Behavioral Sciences Research Fund, the Yale MacMillan Program on Refugees, Forced Displacement and Humanitarian Responses, the New England Foundation for the Arts, the Brattleboro Town Arts Fund, and individual donors. We are so grateful for their support.
