Presented by Windmill Arts Resident Artist, Burning Bones Physical Theatre
Hysteria explores through a queer lens the evolution of “symptoms” that have in turn been associated with religious experience, signs of witchcraft, and symptoms of mental illness; gendered attitudes to mental health and the expression of emotions; identities considered “other”; and navigating contemporary experiences of (dis)connection, sexuality, memory, and desire.

Spoken word poetry by Theresa Davis
Butoh dance performances by Thomas Bell, Sharon Carelock, Hiroko Kelly, Elizabeth Sears, and Holly Stevenson

About the Event
“Playing With Our Words,” a dynamic workshop designed to blend the thrill of Scrabble with the creativity of storytelling and poetry. Over the course of three engaging hours, participants embark on a journey where language becomes both playground and canvas.
The workshop kicks off with a spirited game of Scrabble, where every tile placed on the board becomes a seed for imagination. As words are laid down, they not only score points but also inspire and challenge participants to think critically about language and its expressive potential.
Following the game, participants transition into the creative phase of the workshop. Armed with the words played during Scrabble, they use them as building blocks for crafting original poems or short stories. Whether it’s the unexpected juxtaposition of words or the challenge of incorporating a diverse vocabulary, every participant discovers new avenues of expression.
Facilitators encourage lively conversation throughout the workshop, fostering a supportive environment where ideas flow freely. Discussions range from strategic gameplay insights to interpretations of the meanings and emotions evoked by the chosen words. This collaborative exchange not only enhances participants’ literacy skills but also deepens their appreciation for the richness of language.
By the end of “Playing With Our Words,” participants emerge not only with a newfound appreciation for language but also with a tangible creation—a poem or short story—that reflects their unique perspective and creativity. This workshop is not just about playing a game; it’s about discovering the power of words to connect, inspire, and transform.
This event is open to ages 12 – 112, all minors must have adult supervision. Playing With Our Words is a great event for homeschool groups, families, word enthusiasts, writers, and those who love Scrabble!
Presented by Windmill Arts Resident Artist, Vernal & Sere Theatre
Vernal and Sere Theatre is delighted to return to Atlanta for a LIMITED, 1 WEEKEND ONLY engagement of Hurricane Season following their successful off-broadway debut in New York City. Originally premiering at Windmill Arts in 2022, the company spent this past summer sharpening every element of the production which critics called “a surrealist two-act marvel,” “an undefinable piece of innovative art,” and “a play for both your mind and your senses; something you won’t easily forget.”
Hurricane Season positions itself between opposing forces of erotic desire and national anxiety, delivering a startling portrait of American life in the process. Set against a backdrop of news headlines and pornography, a husband and wife each become entangled in extra-marital affairs with young people eerily resembling their own likeness. This chance encounter leads the couple to opposite ends of the earth in search of love and meaning in their doppelgängers.
In Hurricane Season, Vernal & Sere Theatre delivers an immersive performance which experiments with language, movement, video, light, and sound design for a story teeming with sexual energy, melancholy, and whimsy.

A Sound Bath is a deeply-immersive, full-body listening experience that intentionally uses sound to invite gentle yet powerful therapeutic and restorative processes to NURTURE YOUR MIND AND BODY.
The experience begins with each person lying down or seated in a comfortable position, often with a blanket and an eye mask. After a few minutes of guided focus on the breath, the remainder of the experience is filled with different sounds and frequencies being introduced in succession. The sounds are created by a variety of overtone-emitting instruments including quartz crystal singing bowls, ocean drum, rainmakers, mantra music and voice.
When you sink into a Sound Bath and guide your awareness to your listening, you allow your brain waves to slow, shifting from a more active state to a more relaxed state, or even a dreamlike state.
The sounds introduced during a Sound Bath are an invitation into a deeper state of consciousness, an opportunity to unplug from external stimuli and to gain perspective on what’s going on within you. The goal of the experience is to invite deep rest and relaxation, and explore self-inquiry and self-discovery.
Come prepared for a relaxing yet profoundly inspiring and invigorating experience. Bring your mat, lights blanket, small pillow, and/or anything else you feel would help you settle in comfortably for the experience.
***If weather permits we will have it in the garden, if not we will be inside.***
*** The door will be locked once the meditation begins so please arrive on time.***

“Masters: Present / Past” celebrates both historical and contemporary artists, drawing a connection between the legacy of past masters and today’s modern master artists. Benny Andrews is quoted as saying, “We’re all but cogs in the wheel moving culture forward,” underscoring the idea that artists, both past and present, contribute to the ongoing evolution of culture. This exhibition, running from October 3rd to November 23rd, highlights this continuity by showcasing works from both eras.
Among the featured artists are notable figures such as Alma Thomas, whose vibrant abstract paintings reflect her deep connection to nature, Alfred Conteh who brings powerful narratives of African American life to the forefront through his dynamic blending of figures and environments, Ronald Walton explores identity and culture through mixed media, and Stephanie Brown whos sequin works that delve into themes of sight and vulnerability, using photography as a foundational element.
This exhibition not only emphasizes the individual contributions of these artists but also illustrates how their work resonates with the historical context of African American art. By showcasing these diverse perspectives, “Masters: Present / Past” invites viewers to engage with the rich tapestry of cultural expression that continues to evolve.

About the Event
This exhibition delves into the complexities of Black masculinity, challenging stereotypes and providing a nuanced perspective. Through various mediums, the participating artists engage with themes of identity, resilience, and cultural heritage.
We believe that “Hold The Line” is not just an art exhibition but a powerful statement about the strength, creativity, and resilience of Black men.
The phrase “Hold the Line” alludes to a military tactic, in which a line of troops was supposed to hold strong to prevent an enemy breakthrough. An all-male assembly of some of Atlanta’s most talented black male artists will draw and hold said “line” using a wide array of visual styles, techniques, and mediums.
