Individual Residencies

While in residence I researched and developed a new play, WELL. The play will explore western cultural beliefs around the mind:body relationship in a post-church world, the impact of physical sickness on mental health and the way in which our actions choices those closest to us. The work will use personal experience and research to craft a fictional narrative centered on a mother and son responding to the threat of illness in increasingly polarising ways.
