The term parley derives from the French verb parler: to speak. Historically, a parley was a meeting between adversaries in order to negotiate an end to battle. To signal a willingness to talk peaceably, armies would run up a white flag. In a parley, people of vastly different opinions and experiences make themselves vulnerable by holding conflicting truths together.
Creating is a solitary act, and isolation can make art rigid. By committing to an ongoing process of writing, feedback, and production, we surrender the lone struggle and move forward in collaboration. Watch the 2025 Season Announcement |
