SUMMARY:Dual Perspectives on Art and Healing
DESCRIPTION:Learn how art practices intersect with the process of healing from trauma. Presented in conjunction with Death of Kings at AMFA and War Toys: Ukraine at the MacArthur Museum of Arkansas Military History\, this discussion brings together two compelling bodies of work that confront the emotional toll of war. \nJoin artists Ben Grimes and Brian McCarty for this powerful conversation that will explore artmaking as a form of healing through theatrical and photographic lenses. \nBen Grimes is a playwright and actor\, and the founder of Riverside Actors Theatre\, a theatre ensemble centered on elevating veterans’ stories. Brian McCarty is a photographer and the founder and executive director of War Toys® – a non-profit organization devoted to gathering and disseminating children’s firsthand accounts of war through art-therapy-based collaborations around the world. \n\nDual Perspectives on Art and Healing is supported in part by the Alice L. Walton Foundation. \nDeath of Kings is supported in part by the Alice L. Walton Foundation\, Arkansas Blue Cross and Blue Shield\, and Cardinal Counseling. Mental health support provided in collaboration with Dr. Jason Williams at Arkansas Children’s Hospital and Cardinal Counseling. \nChildren’s Theatre and Performing Arts programs are supported in part by the Shubert Foundation and the Alice L. Walton Foundation. \nPhotos courtesy of the artists. \n

SUMMARY:Death of Kings
DESCRIPTION:Death of Kings traces the journey of an American soldier from enlistment and deployment to reintegration into society. \nWritten by a military veteran from Arkansas\, this poignant play explores the profound effects of war\, trauma\, and mental health\, emphasizing how the art of storytelling can serve as a transformative tool for healing and resilience\, both for soldiers and civilians. By weaving Shakespearean texts and drawing from advancements in neuroscience and drama therapy\, he reveals a path to recovery and the true cost of freedom. \nAfter the performance\, an interactive demonstration will offer a deeper exploration of techniques designed for healing and coping with trauma. This thought-provoking experience will be followed by a brief conversation with individuals from the worlds of art and healing\, giving audiences an opportunity to learn more and ask questions. \n“This piece is not just about war—it’s about what happens when we don’t create space for healing. It’s about what we carry\, what we bury\, and what we lift up.”– Ben Grimes\, Playwright \nRunning Time: 55 minutesRecommended Age: 12 and up \n\n\nWatch Trailer\n\n\n\n\nDeath of Kings is supported in part by the Alice L. Walton Foundation\, Arkansas Blue Cross and Blue Shield\, and Cardinal Counseling.
