Bed Jam

May 14, 2026
Field:

Rehearsal

Location:

Grand Luxe Hall, Western Front

Time:

5:00 – 9:00 p.m.

Description:

While in residence at Western Front, Ami Xherro invited the public to participate in an open exploration of material from her work-in-progress “Bed Year.”

A mattress on the floor of the Grand Luxe Hall established a central gathering point where attendees were invited to participate in Xherro’s informal, shared reading and performance space. Xherro guided participants through a series of improvisatory prompts that functioned as open invitations to engage by speaking, singing, or reading from loosely scattered pages of “Bed Year” arranged throughout the room.

Attendees were welcome to come and go as they wished over the course of the evening.
