Portraits US is a Verbatim Performance Lab (VPL) project aimed at capturing the experiences and viewpoints of people living and working throughout the United States during historical events and happenings. The project investigates how people from different parts of the country respond to the same event. We’re curious about how a person’s geographical location influences their position or viewpoint on an issue of national importance. Additionally, we wonder how an audience interprets a person’s position or viewpoint when it is performed verbatim by a different bodied actor.
