A work - in - Progress
In The Fall of 2018, with the support of Race Forward and HB Studio we began developing a new piece exploring the challenges of navigating social inequities for young people in today's highly polarized climate of
systemic racism, homo-phobia, and sexism.
Phase I
The Person Inside
systemic racism, homo-phobia, and sexism.
Phase I
The Person Inside
Our first step is to invite company members to connect with a part of themselves that has been silenced and then to give it a name, a voice, and a story through interviews, spoken word, monologue, dialogue, dance, and song.
We initiated this phase in our HB Studio Residency in November 2018. We met for nine hours a week over the course of two months and presented two evenings of solo, duo, and ensemble pieces to extremely enthusiastic audiences.

Phase II
The Intersections & Transformations
In this phase, we will begin to develop shared stories and explore the complex relationships between and among the characters we have developed. We'll then, construct a collective narrative that traces the evolution of a wide spectrum of social justice movements and how that shared history can unite and heal all of us.

Phase III
The Discussions
We plan to perform this piece in communities and theaters throughout the city, country and across the globe using post performance talk backs and inter-active techniques to generate conversations that will hopefully inspire perspective sharing, paradigm shifting and structural change.
