Vulnerability is uncertainty, risk, and emotional exposure.

When we are vulnerable, we gamble for the greatest joy— understanding, acceptance, and love— and risk the darkest sorrows of rejection and alienation.

Sometimes we make ourselves vulnerable in the wrong moment or to the wrong person. Or for the sake of someone else's desires— and then we regret it.

Acrobatic Storytelling tells our communities most intimate stories through partner acrobatics, dance, and narration— and this time, we are showing up and sharing our vulnerable moments.

We have been asking one another, "when was the last time you opened up to someone? how did it go?"

The tales we've collected include:

Coming out to your family
Opening up a relationship
Overcoming addiction
Placing blind trust— your life— in someone's hands
Facing your past as a colonized culture
Our vulnerability in the face of climate change

(and so many more)
