This week, we’ve learned a new way to channel our anger at the Triangle Loft in NYC!
Netflix hosted a special event for their newest dark comedy series, BEEF. The comedy stars Steven Yeun, Ali Wong, Joseph Lee, Young Mazino, David Choe, and Patti Yasutake. The event featured a mindfulness experience that mirrors the emotional journey of the cast throughout the series. Some activities included a BEEF-branded whack-a-mole game, and a wellness session with Davenport Creative Arts Therapy, demonstrating art as a powerful therapeutic tool through art therapy, gardening exercises, and a soothing sound bath. Attendees also enjoyed delicious cuisine from Food by Sung, such as mini cheeseburgers and mushroom flatbread, and enjoyed a selection of beverages, such as fresh juices and mocktails, courtesy of Health Ade kombucha.
In conversation to sum up the mindfulness experience, The Hollywood Reporter’s News Editor Abbey White led an insightful conversation with special guest, performance artist, ALOK, discussing how rage can easily be ignited. “Vulnerability is about our capacity to be wounded” ALOK shares when discussing, if vulnerability is an important part of handling your anger. “I don’t think everyone can hold that. There’s some people who I feel like I can be completely vulnerable with, and there’s some people who I don’t, and that’s okay.” ALOK said. “That doesn’t mean that those relationships are disingenuous”.
After the panel, we had the opportunity to speak with ALOK to talk more about mindfulness and what that means to them. “Mindfulness is a daily practice, of returning to yourself, your own body, your own, thoughts, and your own beauty in a world of chaos”.
To watch this darkly comedy, yet deeply moving series, BEEF is officially out now, on Netflix!
