"Roots" is an interactive, immersive eco-sustainability theater experience designed for young audiences, focused on environmental care, community building, and social justice. Guided by a narrative-driven storyline, audiences will journey through five immersive rooms— The Earth Room, Community & Social Justice Room, Collectivist Thinking Room, and Expression Room— where they must actively collaborate through gamified sensory, tactile, and eco-social challenges to “save” one another and the world around them. Collaborators include Jord Liu, Linda Maria Girón, Julius Rea, Katherine Bahena-Benitez, Sierra Phillips & Ciera Eis.

(in)credibility
A new curriculum explores media literacy through collaborative, devised storytelling. Blending aspects of Theatre of the Oppressed, Restorative / Transformative Justice, and Playback Theatre, (in)credibility attempts to delineate the points at which fact becomes fiction, distortion, or deception. Currently developed with Bay Area high school students, this curriculum will be re-structured to work with college students, adult / creative aging organizations, and incarcerated arts groups. Formerly entitled Mobiüs, this project was awarded a California Arts Commission Impact Project Grant as well as a Theatre Bay Area CA$H Creates Grant.
