Lambda Project
Telling Your Story
on Nature


General Information
The Lambda Project is an ongoing effort to tell the stories of the Rainbow Pride Flag.  Stories of sexuality (pink), life (red), healing (orange), sun (yellow), nature (green), art (turquoise), harmony (indigo), and spirit (violet).  It is never too late to contribute your real-life experiences to this growing body of work and by telling your story you'll inspire other people and hopefully change the way we view the world and ourselves.

We would like to invite you to tell us your stories. These stories will be molded into monologues and performed the first night of the Rainbow Theater Festival.  You may answer as many or as few questions as you want.  Anyone may submit to this interview regardless of sexual preference.  And most importantly, the more detail we have the better!!!

The Lambda Project is interested in hearing about people in their "natural state".  When was the first time you remember seeing yourself in the nude?  What did you think and how did you feel about the experience?  As you got older how did your opinion of yourself change?  How do you feel about yourself now?

 

When was the first time that you discovered the beauty and wonder of nature?  Describe the event in detail.

 

Some people who have experienced physical and emotional abuse sometimes second guess their natural impulses.  With as much detail as possible describe the nature of the abuse and your experiences second guessing yourself.  How have these events changed and disrupted your life.

 

Many people when they come out of the closet find that they have rediscovered their natural selves.  What was it like when you came out of the closet?  Do you feel like you are now living a more authentic life?  Describe your coming out experience and this rediscovery of yourself.

 

When was the first time you saw someone else au naturel?  What was the experience like?  Was it good or bad?  If so, why?

 

When you look in the mirror are you the person that you want to be?  Do you feel like your living an authentic natural life?  Describe what you feel and the events leading up to your feelings.

 

Describe yourself to us so that may get a fuller picture of who you are.  This statistical information is helpful to us in planning future Lambda Project events.
