Velveteen Ribbons

Velveteen Ribbons is a story of personal loss and healing told through the mixed mediums of emails, letters, gifts, social media, voicemails, and phone calls. Launched 5 months ago, this stand-alone show begins via a mysterious Instagram account where potential participants can exchange messages with AJ, a cheerful young woman who is struggling to make contact with the outside world. Interested participants are invited by AJ into the formal show, where the narrative unfolds via correspondence with their assigned penpal, Tristan. A Slack channel allows participants to speculate on the narrative’s interwoven timelines while writing their own “unsent letters to the universe.”

This is a one-on-one, 6-week remote experience that will conclude the story of AJ & the Letter Carrier. This experience will occur via postage, e-mail, Instagram messenger, and a series of phone calls. The experience is started by messaging
