"Threshold Encounter": A Guided Waking-Dream Lab "Threshold Encounter" is an after-dark guided arts experience using personal objects, lantern light, low sound, gentle movement, and the architecture of the room. Participants gather first by lantern light, then enter the larger space together. Through simple guided actions — listening, moving, arranging, noticing, and crossing — the group creates a shared threshold environment: a place where ordinary objects and spaces can begin to feel more charged, intimate, and alive than usual. This is not a performance, class, or therapy session. There is nothing to perform, explain, or get right. The experience is quiet, embodied, and participatory, designed for people curious about dreams, ritual, immersive art, symbolic encounter, personal transition, and the hidden life of ordinary things. Participants should bring 3–5 small objects or physical images from home — simple things that feel meaningful, curious, or charged when held. No art, theatre, meditation, or spiritual background is needed. Details: • 90 minutes, intentionally held after dark • 18+ • Limited capacity • Low light, ambient sound, gentle movement, and periods of silence • No performance required • Sharing afterward is optional • Please arrive 10 minutes early • Participants are asked not to take photos or videos during the lab This is the first in-person "Threshold Encounter" series at Expressive Arts @ 32nd & Thorn, with sessions on May 15, June 5, and June 19. May 15 is a pilot event and is pay-what-you-can, $25 suggested. June 5 and June 19 tickets are available at $20 (Community), $25 (Standard), $35 (Supporter). Tickets must be purchased online through Eventbrite. Capacity is limited. Geoffrey Schön | Depth Immersion Theatre on Instagram

San Diego Italian Film Festival presents: "Vermiglio", Maura Delpero’s visionary film, which won the Silver Lion at the 2024 Venice Film Festival is a singular portrait of a sprawling family, set in the small, mountainous village of Vermiglio during the waning days of WWII. It follows a series of dramatic, consequential events after the arrival of a taciturn Sicilian soldier, who hides out in town after deserting the army. There, he meets Lucia. Delpero creates a deeply personal and human tale that recalls the great neorealist movement in Italian cinema, but through Lucia’s perspective Vermiglio feels distinct and novel.
