This workshop will combine storytelling, bathing rituals, archival sound recordings of politicians and comedians, live harp music by Grace Scheele, and interactive conversation among participants.“I’m working on developing a performance piece that explores documentary forms, re-enactment, political protest, translation, and oral history within the site-specific staging of a public sauna. The intimacy and healing power of the sauna is profoundly inspiring to me: the proximity, the heat, the breath, and transformed sense of time. Furthermore I have a deep cultural connection to sauna experiences. As a Ukrainian immigrant, the experience of communal bathing and shared sweat is deeply a part of how I have connected to my father throughout my life. Moreover, in addition to the physical intimacy and healing, there is an emotional intensity that can happen in a sauna. Conversations that seem impossible in the regular world occur with greater ease inside contained spaces heated by woodfire. With all of this in mind I’m creating a performance piece that carefully cultivates a space of transformation and healing, responding to our current, painful moment of global conflict and societal destabilization.”-Ben Gorodetsky, artist & schvitz lover-Creative Team:Ben Gorodetsky - Writer & PerformerGrace Scheele - Musician & Sound ArtistLauren Prousky - Dramaturg & Co-ConspiratorLisa O'Connell - Dramaturg & Co-Conspirator-Timing:Doors Open: 10:00amPerformance: 10:15amConclusion: 11:45am-Venue:KW Sauna - 396 Victoria St N, Kitchener-Note:Audience members will be asked to wear bathing suits and participate in sauna sweating.-Image by Bangishimo.-Developed with generous support from Canada Council for the Arts and Shevchenko Foundation. - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/kitchener/no-tv-in-the-schvitz-new-play-by-ben-gorodetsky-workshop-performance/100001995123232295 - **Event Categories**: art, theatre, workshops, entertainment, performances, music, literary-art, comedy, storytelling - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 1 - **Event Highlights**: - Duration: 1 hour 30 minutes - Location: KW Sauna - Languages: English ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 17.55, max: 38.95, currency: CAD ## Event venue details - **city**: Kitchener - **state**: ON - **country**: Canada - **location**: KW Sauna - **lat**: 43.4594465 - **long**: -80.4810567 - **full address**: KW Sauna, 396 Victoria Street North, Kitchener, Canada ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: (no tv in) the schvitz - new play by Ben Gorodetsky - workshop performance - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events3/banners/a5cb08d15c84c9d1bff380e6a4bbe74557ba4932bb23989f52c5e5f0e680f648-rimg-w1200-h960-dcc2c6d1-gmir.jpg?v=1784928626 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is (no tv in) the schvitz - new play by Ben Gorodetsky - workshop performance being held? - **A:** (no tv in) the schvitz - new play by Ben Gorodetsky - workshop performance takes place on Sat, 15 Aug, 2026 at 10:00 am to Sat, 15 Aug, 2026 at 11:30 am at KW Sauna, 396 Victoria Street North, Kitchener, Canada. - **Q**: Who is organizing (no tv in) the schvitz - new play by Ben Gorodetsky - workshop performance? - **A:** (no tv in) the schvitz - new play by Ben Gorodetsky - workshop performance is organized by Pinch Cabaret. - **Q**: Who is this event for?
