would you mind? could you? can I ask? is it possible?
Created and performed by Garrett Allen
How do you ask? How can I ask?
I think I can figure it out. I can. At least I think so.
This is an experiment in doing and being, I and we, and compassion. I think it always is.
I don’t have a lot–two hands and maybe some other things–but I want to try. Make to try. Trying.
I am grateful for your support. I want to pull this together to show you some things but it is just a bit involved if you happen to be able to help me out? I think I can do it though. It’s okay.
would you mind? could you? can I ask? is it possible? is a solo performance with text, sound, and movement created, run, and performed by Garrett Allen in a theater in New York, here, now, with you. It explores help–support, assistance, resources, service, and presence.
