In the fall of 2020, my artist proposal to participate in the SB Home Project was accepted. The final piece, Fire and Life, was recently published and is now available to watch online. My part is one in a series that features local talent. The project presents a collection of stories from individuals who consider Santa Barbara home. We did everything over zoom and only the very final steps were in person. I found the process really fruitful creatively. It was my first time writing for a theatre piece and it was a collaboration with the director, Sara Rademacher, and actress, Brooklyn Snyder. I've added a link to read more about the project and to watch the final video on the Marjorie Luke Theatre's website. It's an invitation to think about the stories we share with others, our shared identity, shared space, and what makes a home.
