We each have experience with the Labors of Love. So you will relate as some of New York City’s finest storytellers tell stories of how Love with a capital L has been Work with a capital W. They will explore the relationship we have with relationships. They will ask what we are willing to do and why we are willing to do it for love. Are we seeking wholeness through another? Are we simply following a narrative we’ve been told before? Do we have desires that are too nuanced to put into words? The Labor of Love storytellers will ask all these questions through a series of true personal stories. The Storytellers are Caitlin Brodnick, Kate Greathead, Nisse Greenberg, Eli Reiter and Aaron Wolfe.
Kate Greathead is a storyteller and writer who is confused about her relationship to talking about herself. She is a four time Moth Slam Champion whose work has been featured on the Moth radiohour and the New York Times. kategreathead.com
