Mykee Fowlin: You Don’t Know Me Until You Know Me, a FREE Performance

To varying degrees, we all wear masks. We are conditioned to hide our true selves, out of fear of being rejected and/or judged. We are taught to devalue or ignore our pain, as if its utility is better served hidden than exposed.

But what if this approach is ultimately to our detriment, not our survival? What if our authentic self is all we have, and our pain is the gift that we use to change this world? And imagine, as a foundational premise, we are raised and trained to celebrate differences, as an inclusive process, not just a tolerable one.

In his one-man performance piece, ‘You Don’t Know Me Until You Know Me’, Dr. Mykee Fowlin takes the audience on an experiential journey, having them reexamine core values that were taught to us from as early on as first grade.

Mykee uses many of his gifts, including humor, performance art, poetry, storytelling, psychology, theatrical monologues, and stories of his own personal journey, to create a moving experience for all who are open to this evolution.

This event is appropriate for teens and adults. Middle School Students are encouraged to attend with an adult.

Following the performance Dr. Fowlin will lead a question and answer session for all attendees.

We are capable of transforming the world, for the good, but this work starts from within; it is the process of turning our hurt into self-reflection, healing, and then action. It is our simple, but intentional, behaviors where significant change takes place. The gesture of us smiling, acknowledging the existence of another, is as powerful as any other deed done in the world. Let us be like the oyster, turning our pain into something more valuable, but never forgetting the final piece in this transition. The value of the pearl takes place when someone else receives it, not if the oyster keeps it.”
