ABOUT THE CONCERT "MAYDAY"

 

Mayday got its start as an international distress call in 1923. It was made official in 1948. It was the idea of Frederick Mockford, who was a senior radio officer at Croydon Airport in London. He came up with the idea for “mayday" because it sounded like the French word m'aider, which means “help me."

Asking for help can be humiliating. ‘I must be vulnerable. I must communicate. I must be honest with myself and admit I can’t do it alone.’

After all, aren’t we supposed to be strong and independent? But where do we go when we’re feeling lost? How do we manage recurring thoughts that intrude our plans, purpose, and peace? We dare not admit the truth, so afraid of being perceived as needy, a burden.

But, Friend, it’s okay. It’s okay to ask for help.

From needing company to gas money for the week. In the barber shop chair, at the dinner table, or in a therapist’s office.

It’s okay to ask for help. You don’t have to do this alone.

This production is a distress signal to get closer to mental wellness. Wellness is a continuum; it is ongoing change - 

 

Choreographed and directed by Adrienne Jackson, founder and director of Create Freedom Arts Projects (CFAP), this concert will premiere new contemporary and modern dance works and restaged signature repertoire.

 

Featuring CFAP Company Artists: Syd Fogle, Ashley Hyatt, Domonique Jones, Alex Long, Adrienne Jackson, Hannah Crane, Kyla Lismon, Lauren Ryan, Justin Satori, and Shay Sondgerath.

 

This concert will be held on Saturday, May 28th, 2022, at 2:00 pm and 7:30 pm EST, both on stage at The Phoenix Theatre in Indianapolis and live-streamed via Zoom. You may purchase tickets at: phoenixtheatre.org/buy-tickets
