Description of Performance

The Smith Family Performance was a socially engaged theatre project I co-developed and co-led, focused on identity, confidence building, belonging and place. Curated by Alexandra Lawson and Directed by Travis Dowling the performance designed a series of dialogic, performance-based workshops culminating in a performance where participants became makers, storytellers, and performers. This outcome contributes to community-engaged performance by offering a relational model for theatre-making grounded in collaboration, social context, and access to university.
