VOICES Radio Hour

VOICES Radio Hour | a collaboration with Circa 71 Productions

2nd Friday of The Month, 6-7pm on KDNK Radio

VOICES Radio Hour is a response to our intrinsic need to share stories, coupling with Circa 71 Productions’ mission to preserve memories and stories as the sacred archeology of our loved ones. The collaboration brings about collected stories under different themes and voices from all walks of our community in the monthly VOICES Radio Hour. We hope this serves to preserve our oral history of who we are, where we come from, and who we aspire to be, through the tradition of storytelling.

Episode 21. Authenticity

This special episode of VOICES Radio Hour is brought to you by TACAW.

October 11, 2024

This October marks the second Queer VOICES Theater Project, entitled Authentically Versus…, presented by VOICES and TACAW on October 18, 19, 20th at TACAW. The Queer VOICES Theater Project is an original work of theater created by local queer artists and allies. This year’s production is directed by Micha Schoepe, and centers on the pain and gain of learning to be our most authentic selves. Through a full spectrum of artistic expression—music, storytelling, movement, and more—the show widens our understanding of who we are and how we can grow.

We sat down with Micha and the ensemble of Authentically Versus… during a recent rehearsal to learn more about their process of creating the show, how they chose the title and themes, what they’ve learned about each other along the way, and what they hope for the production.

The voices featured in this episode are from the the ensemble and director of Authentically Versus…  Micha Schoepe, Blake Novy, Dave Emig, Myki AnnStella Jones, Anisa Lavender, Molly DeMarr, Kevin McManamon, and Valerie Sullan. There are two additional ensemble members who are not featured in this episode but will be performing; Delaney Meyers & Olivia Pevec. Featured musical selections in this episode are songs chosen by the ensemble that help “pump them up” and make them feel amazing! You can listen to the full playlist here.

Episode 20. Life-Changing Teaching

September 13, 2024

So many of us have a story of a teacher who changed our lives. For some, this may be an early childhood educator who made them feel safe and loved, for others it may be a college professor who forever altered their opinions and beliefs. The concept of “teacher” could also be a moment in time or a long-term practice that shaped a person into who they are and informed how they see themselves and the world. This month, on VOICES Radio Hour, we asked five community members to explore the expansive idea of “teacher,” as well as the ways these teachers have shaped them. You'll hear the voices of Nikolai Furmansky, Francisco “Paco” Nevárez-Burgueño, Lisa Rocco, Zoë Rom, and Shakti Ved. Featured musical selections in this episode are curated by one of our storytellers, Lisa Rocco.
